Most car batteries are flooded (i.e. not sealed). If you continuously
charge them, once they reach "full" they simply convert the excess
charging current into heat and

People mix up "float" and "trickle" chargers all the time. But they are
quite different devices.
A "trickle" charger delivers a more-or-less constant CURRENT, regardless

I can second Cor's advice. 13.5v is a good float voltage; better than
the usual 13.8v you'll find in

New question.

Float voltage is likely higher than 13.5V but you should see what the
manufacturer says. Keep it below the float voltage rec, at 30mA (the
current for two bright LEDs and 0.4W) you are likely not harming.
It is correct that when charged excess generates heat and gassing. If you
are ever concerned

New question.
What happens when you might forever overcharge a CAR battery with 30 mA
(during daylight).
I added an unregulated solar panel that typically produces only 30 mA to a
very remote cabin car battery deep in the woods. The charge rate will give
a 2 hour per week use of the lights.
To quote a 1931 move... ITS ALIVE!
I love the simplicity of this Honda Civic conversion. WIth only an analog
voltemeter (I hate the near infinite impedance of DVM's for
troubleshooting dirty, ugly stuff), I'm only one more bug away from the
annual drive around the block.

Hi, Robert. These all sound very normal.
1) PbAcid batteries are stll hissing 8 hours after the first charge in a
year was removed? All ten batteries were between 13.5 and 14.5 under charge

Finally, Back to Lead acid and a FOUR WIRE EV! (Something I can
maintain)!
(4 wires, means 2 from the battery, and 2 to the motor and a controller in
the middle. Done)...
I have given up on mode
