Honestly, I’m just here for the battery jokes! Like, why did the battery break up with the generator? It couldn’t find the right connection!

Do you have specific recommendations for smart chargers? I’m eager to try one out to improve efficiency.

I’ve heard that AGM batteries, like the EverStart, can be sensitive to overcharging. It’s crucial to watch the voltage during charging. Also, periodic maintenance checks help ensure longevity!

17

Absolutely! I try to keep the voltage around 14.4 volts for optimal charging. Too high can damage the battery over time.

18

I agree with james39, keeping an eye on the voltage is vital. Also, I read that AGM batteries don’t need regular water refills, which is a plus for maintenance.

19

I love how maintenance-free AGM batteries are! Did you know that proper charging can also help recover some capacity if you’ve accidentally drained it too much?

That’s fascinating! I didn’t realize they could recover capacity. I often worry about how quickly I drain batteries.
