Battery Chargers/Maintainers/Conditioners Choosing the right battery for the job is only half the story. Now you need to choose right device to properly charge, maintain, and recondition them, once they start showing signs of aging. * Battery chargers that do not have an end of charge control or too much output current can ruin a battery in just a few hours. * Avoid charging any battery in a time period of less than 24 hours, unless you need to place the battery back in service for a short time. * If a battery is charged slower it lasts longer. * Pulse type chargers with end of charge controls minimize the heat build-up during charging, while decreasing the time needed to fully charge a battery. * Minimizing plate sulphation build-up by keeping your battery at full charge at all times, can extend its life, by as much as 300% * Using de-sulphation equipped conditioner-charges early in the life of your battery will guarantee maximum performance, as well as longer life. TIP 1: Never leave an unregulated or so called automatic charger connected to your battery overnight, unless it shuts of completely. TIP 2: Avoid the use of trickle rate chargers that do not have an automatic float mode or current control circuitry that is guaranteed not to overcharge your battery. TIP 3: Keep your battery at full charge at all times without ever overcharging it. By doing so you will always have maximum power, eliminate additional sulphation build-up, prevent freeze up, and extend your batterys useful life.
