OPCOM

OK well I hope I am not going off the deep end into non-safety aspects, but I do want to present what little info I have on battery use and care. I notice we have an Interstate Battery dealer in the house. It would be really helpful to have some deep details on caring for flooded lead acid batteries, including the different kinds of chargers and exactly what they do. I don't think anyone will make an accusation of marketing.

Attached is a small chart for flooded lead-acid batteries showing voltage, specific gravity, and percent charge. It is inadequate thought because it only represents what is true at 80 degrees, and in this case we don't the age of the data, or of newer batteries are any different. maybe slightly so..

The chart assumes any charging or other disturbances have been discontinued for a couple hours, so the battery will show the true settled voltage.
