Since I have started to follow his advice the battery lasts longer I got two years (it probably would go another year)out of the current one, where before I had to purchase a new one every year.  |
The "Smart" chargers have come along way, and the days of just blasting a battery with 40-60 amps is long gone. Treat your battery right and it will last longer than you expect.
