    Default Battery info

    I have a 12V trouble light that I use to do as they suggested. And a 10amp battery charger that is voltage limited (got it in the Pulsar battery days) Doing it that way for decades and recovered more then a few batteries, thought to be gone.

    I was using a 2amp charger at the track and it was always so slow.
    Called Odyssey to see what the max amps the 680 could take on a charge. They said 20!

    So I bought one of these:

    Mainly use the 8amp rate but I'm now thinking I should be using the 15.

    Interesting battery recovery process.

    My stand is it is cheaper to replace batteries every year than have issues.

    A lot of things 'appear' as battery issues. (such as mine early this year - fuel pump)

    Your method allows ruling out the battery quickly.

    First thing I check is the battery always. But the first item I check with data analysis is battery avg and high and low values if they are not in spec data is possibly not accurate or just noise.
