>I have in service an Interstate brand 8D-PHD lead acid deep cycle battery that is nine years old and at nearly 80% of its brand-new capacity.
How do you know it's at 80% of it's brand-new capacity?
> * Regular checks of electrolyte level topped off with distilled water
> * Regular specific gravity checks to watch for cell degradation
> * Rgular cleaning of the battery case and terminals
How often is regular? What do you look for when deciding to clean the case and terminals?
>* Semi-annual discharge followed by an equalization charge and then return to float
What do you mean by equalization charge?
