  6. Battery charger and reconditioners

    in General Celica Discussion

    Posted

    Postman came in early today to give me the new battery ( odyssey extreme racing 25 )

    First thing I check was the voltage and it come out as 12.7v :D

    Well the battery is now sorted :) im gonna leave the solar power panel on the battery while it's on the car for a week and see if the voltage will drop.I got a mini voltage gauge laying around the house so im gonna install it onto the battery so I can keep my eye on it during the cold season.

    Depends on why you want to use it, If it’s to “maintain” a good battery then they work very well in keeping your battery healthy; however if the battery has lost performance then it may not bring it back up. Basic rule for batteries don’t leave them flat (discharged) for example; if your battery goes completely flat and it’s left like that for some time then it will lose its charging capacity which under normally working conditions will only get worse. Some battery conditioners can still bring them back from the brink, but the “save a battery” is designed to maintain a good battery.

    To tell if a battery is damaged fully charge and leave disconnected for 24hours for the battery to settle and then read the voltage if it is below 12.6v then you have a problem.

    12.6v + ok

    12.4v – 12.6v up to 40% loss of efficiency

    12.4v and below Replace battery

    thanks for the info

    i just checked the battery and its reading at 11.8 :o:(

    for my new battery im gonna get myself a solar panel to protect it from going completely flat.any good?
