Re: [VAL] Re:Battery boiling, Help !
Dr.Johnson and Mr.Tom : I've received a couple of responses one from you and
one from Tom.Thanks for the input.I'll take both of these responses under
advisement.I think what I'll do short term is keep the battery out of the
trailer ( which is probably why is wasn't in there to start with),"re-hab" the
battery with the electrolyte.Long term may buy new batteries and a battery
charger that intermediately allows charges to go into the battery.
Just a thought ,Tom said that the older style battery chargers go full blast.
With that thought in mind is it possible to hard wire in a switch at the
battery where by I may just simply turn off the charges as they go into the
battery until I want to charge the battery? I'm at work here at the fire
station,but basically the wiring is this : two wires (red) come down and
connect to the positive side of the battery ( coming from ? ) and one ground
wire which goes to the ground post of the battery.What I've done and it seems
to be working ,connected the two red wires together Via some electrical tape
and simply taped the ground wire off by itself not connected at any point to
any thing
I have to go off duty here in a few minutes but I'll be checking in for y'alls
responses during the course of the day.Thanks again ,more than you know.Tom B.
