Battery Info

Postby PaulC » Sun Feb 26, 2006 1:42 am

The site listed below is an article covering all aspects of batteries for vehicles and camping. I thought some of you may be interested.

Mike, I read it as we are 10.5 hours ahead of GMT and, if you are in Michigan, you are 5 hours behind GMT. That would make a total of 15.5 hours difference. That would put your time at around 5pm on the 27th.
How does that figure withyou?
Cheers
Paul :thumbsup:

I guess you are GMT +9:30 I am GMT -6:00. Why the extra 30min? Most everyone else is on the hour. It's Mon 4:30PM here, I guess it's Tues 9:00AM?

Asianflava, The extra 1/2 hour, who knows. We South Aussies are known world wide to be different from the rest of the country. If you check Sydney you will probably find they are +9 hours. Just our position I suppose. By the way, spot on with the time.
Cheers

Hi All

Back to the link, a few errors

1. it shows the battery being 90% charged via an alternator, that doesnt happen 65-70% max

2. AGM are shown as fast chargers and maintenance free, they have to be charged at a lower rate (look up specs) and they are not maint free either. I know someone who uses them some ways good, mostly beatable by a standard lead acid
