Title: battery charger?
Post by: GottaRide on December 25, 2004, 08:55:41 AM
Hello everyone.  Merry Christmas!  

Santa Claus came to see me and gave a gift card to Walmart.  My 2000 gs500e might need a little charging for the battery this winter.  Can you suggest which one might be the best for me?  I would also like to know how to "properly" use the battery charger.  i don't want to over charge or anything like that.

Hope you are having a merry Christmas!!!!

To avoid overcharging, look for an automatic charger (one that will detect full charge and automatically switch to float mode).

For small batteries (motorcycle, lawn tractor, etc.) a one amp setting is best, two amps max.  :cheers:
