[928uk] Battery for a 86 S2

[Kevin Fearon]

Hi Ron,

I have been using this charger for a couple of years, with very satisfactory results.

http://www.accumate.co.uk/accumate.htm 


It has even recovered a discharged motor cycle battery that been sitting around for a year. I was ready to dispose of it but thought I would connect it up and give it a go. Very pleasing!
See the FAQs below for the statement about suphated batteries.

I would always try this before buying a replacement battery. No guarantee that it will recover every battery of course, but you will always need a battery charger.
My justification for the expense was to 'buy once, buy wisely'.

Kindest regards,

Kevin

>>Your problem sounds like it was the battery charger not recognising a flat battery as a battery. That is where a cheap basic battery charger is a good option. As for batteries which won't take any charge current, they often will if left on the charger long enough, but they probably will never be very good.
