JUST A HEADS UP EVERONE VOLTAGE IS NO WAY TO CHECK IF A BATTERY IS CHARGED IF YOU WANT A TRUE DOWN T TEST YOU HAVE TO TEST THE AMPS IN IT BATTERIES CAN HAVE 12 VOLTS IN THEM THAT DOESN'T MEAN THEY ARE CHARGED IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM AN BATTERY CAN HAVE 12 VOLTS AT 5 AMPS TJIS IS WHAT IS CALLED A TOP CHARGE BUT ONCE YOU PUT A LOAD ON THEM THE DIE NOW TO OVERCHARGE A BATTERY IS VERY HARD TO DO UNLESS YOU THROW 15 VOLTS OR HIGHIER TO A 12 VOLT BATTERY A CHARGE CYCLE ON A 12 VOLT BATTERY IS 13.2 VOLTS TO 14.1 VOLTS THE TRICK IS TO GET THEM NOT ONLY TO TAKE VOLTAGE BUT TO TAKE AMPS THIS TAKES TIME FOR A FULL CHARGE 99 % OF YOUR CHARGERS WILL CUT DOWN THE AMP CHARGE TO 0.0001 OF A AMP WHEN THE BATTERY IS FULL.
NOW YOU MAY WONDER HOW I KNOW THIS WELL I HAVE BEEN IN AUTOMOTIVE CHARGING FIELD FOR OVER 10 YEARS. THATS WHAT ME AND AL DO FOR A LIVING WE SALE ALTERNATOR AND STARTER PARTS TO REBUILDERS AND I HAVE BEEN A BUILDER MYSELF.
IN FACT THE EXPERTS OF BATTERIES IN THIS STATE IS HENSLEY BATTERY. BUT THEY ONLY DEAL WITH THE LARGER BATTERIES I BELEAVE. BUT THERE ARE TONS OF BOOKS ON ELECTICITY THEORY YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY WILL HAVE THEM THEY ARE A GREAT READ.
OH HELPFULL INFO NEVER TAKE YOUR CAR TO CHECKERS / AUTOZONE TO HAVE YOUR BATTERY OR ALTERNATOR LET ALONE YOUR STARTING SYSTEM. IF YOU HAVE A HEART PROBLEM DO YOU GOTO A FOOT DOCTOR NO! I WOULD TAKE YOUR CAR TO THE EXPERTS YOU LOCAL ALTERNATOR AND STARTER REBUILDERS THEY KNOW YOUR SYSTEM INSIDE AND OUT BECAUSE THAT IS ALL THEY DO!
SORRY I AM RANTING
I JUST HOPE I HELPED
