Hi, eBay item number:295644935211 The price keeps going up. I would offer him £15 as that's all I have been paying him. Cheers, Iain.

Hi, If you have a smart phone i would buy a £15 battery monitor & fit to battery. long term data would show any problems. I have a monitor on every battery I own. Measuring the energy capacity & internal resistance would give you an insight. Checking Ahr/Capacity is not so easy, a bit like checking a match works. You could also return it under warrantee & let them tell you it is OK? Cheers, Iain.

Hi, Putting two batteries of differing state of charge (SoC), i.e. one at 100% & one at -0% will just flatten the higher one. Short term it might enable a car to start or a Smart-charger to begin charging. A smart charger will not charge a battery below 0% SOC. An analogy would be running a diesel generator below 0% fuel & expecting it to still function correctly after a refill. A car battery Voltage off load span of 100% SoC is only around 2V. 100% SOC is around 12.7V. 0% SOC is around 10.7V. So less than 10.7 is less than empty. Charging a fully charged battery at aro

Hi, I believe a faulty battery must be returned full charged so they can test it. EDIT. "A battery showing a resting voltage of less than 10.5v will have become discharged through one of the above points, this is not a manufacturing fault." Just relaying what I have read. Somewhere. See #7 below Cheers, Iain. PS. From Tayna Website: What Voids the Warranty: 1 - Abuse, misuse, improper installation, improper maintenance and modifications including removal of the battery lid. 2 - Incorrect application. 3 - Physical damage, including broken or melted terminals. 4 - Gen

Hi, I've always tried to fit the "Biggest" SLI battery that will fit. I then compare the CCA/Ahr cost and make my choice. I want high Ahr so that I have more reserve capacity then I will ever need; at least three times in its life the starter motor has moved the car several meters out of danger. Generally, the higher the CCA the more Amps the starter motor will pull as the internal volt-drop inside the battery will be lower so therefore the starter-motor voltage will be higher? I found an AGM battery online for £76 a couple of years ago,. very low self discharge & battery termin

Hi, Can Admin/SysGod explain why I can not use my email address to register on here? It worked in the old days & now is blocked. Unable to post now. Spitfire6.
