Battery Maintenance

[Nishan.dj]

Hello,

First of all need to thank everyone for sharing knowledge among us.

I have a something to get clarified with the help of you all. I bought 2 exide batteries for my 4DR5 Jeep 2 years ago and both are 90Amp ones. The alternator provide 13-14V when charging and according what I knew and tested by an electrician there is no charging issue with the electrical system and I got the whole wiring system repaired by a good electrician sometime back.

I check the water level once a week of both batteries and get them tested by an electrician at least once in a 3-4 months. But suddenly one battery stopped charging and had to throw away as I am having a bad experience with Exide batteries. I went to meet a supplier of all kind of batteries and got some advises from them too which they say they get more returns of exide batteries and having some issues.

I do not want to criticize any brand but after going through the posts published by many experts I decided to change the brand to Global maintenance free batteries. And also thanks to Sylvi and all, I think its a good idea to use a battery maintainer for keep the batteries fully charged. I highly appreciate for your explanations about battery maintainers and chargers (I'm aware that maintainer is for maintaining a charged battery and a charger for charging but what would be the best for me?) based on the local market. Thank so much in advance.

And for haemorrhoids! (Always a good for a laugh at the pharmacy, if they don't know what you want, point to your bum and say " Come on! You know the salt they dissolve in bath water for haemorrhoids? That's what I want!" )</p></blockquote>

Oh my, I can imagine the response of the pharmacist when I order about 500g of magnesium sulphate

Harshan Senadhira,

Magnesium Sulphate 500g is too much. 5.00 Rupees each 1 packet. for one 12 v battery 3 Packets. Are you trying several batteries to regenerate?

I have done two batteries only cost was few rupees. One is still I use for testing purposes. cannot take heavy load. Other one did not work.
