Could i cut off the croc. clips off the charger, and fit a ciggy lighter plug? the socket is always on, even when engine is off & key out ignition.
Sounds more like the charging system needs looking atbut winter with wipers n lights heater demister on is another story
How would you know? While my factory battery was at 17 years old, I charged it to 16v with the solar panel. I have been unable to reproduce it since. At 18.5 year old, the battery still limps along fine spring to autumn. It is currently perma connected to the ac/dc adaptor for winter emergencies. The internal resistance dropped from 14.5 to 13.3 mOhms indicating it is reviving. A new battery would have an IR of 4-5 mOhms. From a youtube video, an industrial expert in the known said when the IR doubles from new, the battery should be replaced. He's somewhat right, but not exactly, because if you could tolerate limping, 3x IR from new is do-able. Limping means the engine hesitates to start.It does not do the battery any good to be over charged
Perhaps by googling "what happens if a lead acid battery is overcharged", though your subsequent description of your battery behavior also lends weight to Eric's argumentHow would you know?
If you google monosodium, they say don't use it. Yet, all food companies use it. See if you can work it out? Lack of knowledge means, they can fill your brain with anything they want.Perhaps by googling "what happens if a lead acid battery is overcharged", though your subsequent description of your battery behavior also lends weight to Eric's argument
