I am getting my 914 ready for winter storage. I have a Optima Red Top Battery. I have a Sears battery maintainer/ charger will that work on a Optima Battery. The directions mention every other kind of battery,is there any special things to do ,or special maintainer I should use. I remember reading some thing about them requiring some sort of special care. But I forgot what !!!!!!!! I seem to do that a lot lately. What is your opinion ???????? Dave (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) |

QUOTE(BarberDave @ Nov 5 2007, 03:00 PM)  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Messix: What is a float charge??????? Dave (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) a "float charge" is putting just enough current into the battery to keep it "topped off" in the battery's fully charged charged state. you wouldn't want to hit it with 5 amps at 13.5 all the time. as the charge state of a battery gets to it's fully charged limit the resistance to more charge = higher voltage for same amps in. this can damage a battery if not monitored. if the battery has a fault or is left on a charger that doesn't have a automatic charge setting it could over heat gas and explode. so short answer: float charge = storage charge. |
