Hi All,
i would like to keep a 12 volt 60Ah Calcium Car Battery on stand by mode.
what i have in my mind is to charge the batterry while it is on stand by.
but not sure which charging method is better for battery life.
should i keep the battery under constant trickle charge or should i charge the battery by monitoring its voltage till it gets certain point ( say 14.4 volts ) and stop charging. then wait till the battery voltage reduce till 12.5 volt to start recharging.
if the trickle charge is better what will be the charging volts and amperes
( i think 1 A is ok for this battery since C/100 = 0.6 amp. and considering
few leds ( aprx. 15 leds ) will always be on while the battery on stand by mode
thnks for any assistance.
