Battery Charger?
08/31/07 at 21:16:14
 
Well first I gotta say, riding my bike a mile is way more fun than pushing it a mile. So here's my question. I've read that I should charge the battery at a rate of 1.4A for ten hours, but only after I already bought a charger with a charge rate of .75A and ripped it out of the package. Can I use this charger?  ???

By all means, use the charger. For a lead battery the voltage is important, not the current. It might take a little longer to charge.

Post questions in the Rubber side down section next time.

1.4 is MAX charging current you are at a lil more than half so figure twice the time..but  SLOWER is better cause its a DEEPER charge.. 3/4 amp charger is fine for those who hibernate their bike for the winter, i'd be cautious with lower dollar chargers(not lower amp)that dont have a trickle/maintenance circuit..insure your electolite is up and caps are off in a well ventilated area
the acid mix is explosive!! maintenance free batterys have no caps hence no way to suplement electrolite but ample ventilation is safer..
