Kwasaki Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) @kuma If the battery on the vehicle you have now is not in need of charging, then disconnect, get it checked and fully charged and for just 6 month it'll be fine.

Kwasaki Hey thanks for that. I have suspended looking for a trickle charger after today, no luck. Will do as you suggest, it is in top shape now, so will disconnect and store in an appropriate place til I get back. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAS21 Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) Maybe Pib could comment on this … I hadn’t used the Everest for a while so put the CTEK on the battery and left it for about three days. Yesterday evening I checked the voltage at 13.2something V… and then removed the charger. I noticed some white deposit on the charger –ve terminal and it had attacked the clip. A tinge of blue so guess it was Copper Sulphate. The bonnet had been open all the time so it is possible that a very light mist of rain water could have blown over the engine when it was rainy and windy. There was no deposit on the –ve battery terminal. I have left the charger my batteries before and under the same roof but never noticed any deposit on the charger terminal. I suppose that it is possible that the -ve terminal clip picked up a tiny deposit from another battery terminal that did have a small amount of white residue. Mid afternoon the battery voltage was showing 12.94V. I unlocked the car and switched on the lights for a short time, then re-locked the car. Battery voltage was then showing 12.51V. Two hours later the battery voltage had recovered to 12.90V. Measurements with my Fluke which I suspect could be reasonably accurate. By the way ... On a previous comment of yours ... the 666 was actually the supposedly measured CCA Edited August 3, 2017 by JAS21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
