Mornin' Brock et al...
One of my many tasks over the last 40 yrs has been running Airforce battery shops, and now one at Jandakot airport. Aircraft batteries, Nicad and Lead Acid, I have learned a few things over the years, one of which is dont waste time trying to rejuvinate a battery, replace it. Its easier, and cheaper in the long run..
You may well be right
...But here's a though...
I concede that I know very little about batteries and for that matter electrickery in general, but I have been of the belief that to maximise a lead acid battery life I should always keep the water / H2SO4 level to a point it covers the plates. That's what I was told, rightly or otherwise
.
OK. With that in mind, when I originally put this battery in it came out of its box MT and with a 6 cell cassette of fluid that I simply up-ended into the battery and in doing so 6 bottle cap like seals were pierced and all of the contents ended up in the battery before I fitted a collective cap which is clearly labelled
Do Not Remove.
Today I
did remove that collective cap this morning and not only did I add the 92ml of INOX MX2, but added an additional 30mls of DE-mineralised water in order to restore the fluid covered the plates in each of the cells..refitted the collective cap...and returned the battery to the bike.
Have I done the correct thing? Indeed will I get the 98% chance of adding 2-3 years life to the battery as INOX suggest? I dunno...
I guess time will tell...I will let ya's know
Ciao, the can :-)
