Does Size Matter?

  Cliff,, you need two tubs,, so you can sit side by side as in the ad.>>>Dan

 Jon,, it's NOT like putting water in a bucket until the bucket runs over.. Batteries have an internal resistance and when charging this resistance INCREASES as the charge increases,, when the two forces balance the battery is full.. An unregulated charger CAN over charge a battery,,and because the battery is RESISTING this overcharge,, the battery gets hot and the damage begins..>>>Dan ( This high resistance in the final phase of charge explains why the last few percent of charge takes so long to achieve 100%)

Isn't that what I said? Turn up the regulator to supply bulk charge and then drive all day. When you shut down for the night the batteries will be bulged out like a balloon and will smell like rotten eggs.

   EXACTLY!!

Larger nuts would produce greater flow!

Exactly what I was telling my Psycho Analyst the other day,just sayin. Hey Oakster!!

Keep shaking the can, if you can hear that rattle, it still isn't ready to use.



Where are we going to meet up and drink beverages, BCO?

I float my house bats at 13.2V and they are now going on 8 yrs and still hold at 6.56 to 6.59V when off the pole for a few hours with minimum use. As for using nuts to keep it flowing, I find a good wrist action without the nuts works just as well....

LifeLine has some good info about the bulk charge and equalizing the charge to bring the batteries to 100% capacity to prevent the lead sulfate from forming crystals,anyone should know a non regulated bulk charge @ 28V + would cook a battery in a few hours

8d AGM's DEKA told me 13.3v.-13.5v
do not exceed. ever.
Xantrex agreed.
so i don't.

Like I said befoe, I am constantly amazed with your candor in all your writings. Thank you for sharing. I hope that by doing so, you've found a measure of peace.  Here are a few samples:

I'm so confused, had to read the original post to see what is on topic. Since it was about batteries, here's my daily report.

(Yawn)

Mixing batteries of different ages in a bank of batteries is a definite no-no, and I can only imagine how bad it would be to mix types such as start batteries and deep discharge as Wind seems intent on doing.

Who knows?

Claw Foot tub? 
Cliff,, you need two tubs,, so you can sit side by side as in the ad.

What in the world do people, two people of different genders relaxing in a clawfoot tub, have to do with sexual enhancement or male proficiency in the boood-wha?  AND WHY FOR THE LOVE OF PETE ... IN A CLAW FOOT BATHTUB. 

I could make inquiries at the Sperm Bank, but then again, there is the matter of that restraining order and all ....  While we are at it, and because MY bus batteries are FULLY CHARGED and working correctly ... here is my question ... Are there trans gender bus owners in this country, inquiring minds want to know.

(nice blend eh?)

(the batteries) will be bulged out like a balloon and will smell like rotten eggs.

Been there --- done that --- got the T-shirt Jon, but it was pickled pigs feet and devil eggs washed down with Budweiser that did it, not over charging. As a matter of fact, "it has been so long since I got a charge, I forget where you hook up the jumper cables"  (If I do discover the exact location I will let you know in my daily report)

EXACTLY!!

Larger nuts would produce greater flow!

HUH?

Exactly what I was telling my Psycho Analyst the other day, just sayin. Hey Oakster!!

EXACTLY?

Where are we going to meet up and drink beverages, BCO?

Geographically speaking, you are very far way away from our domicile.  We have folks coming in this month from CA. and next month from AZ and one is stoppin' by on the way home from the Grand Canyon.  Come on down, we will throw another can of beans in the fire (you thought I was going to say shrimp on the barbie didn'tya?).  When I drink I kind of turn into a whole nother person, and HE really drinks A LOT, so I have to be careful.
 
Maybe Arcadia in December?
 
Watch those right handers

Aye, Arcadia sounds lovely.

I will bring duty free beverages.

happy coaching!
