I have found battery tenders  wreck batteries . Ever notice how  a 7 year old toyota (or dart) starts fine after left all winter , ? Sometimes the best thing you can do for batteries is leave them alone , dudconnect one post till spring. The battery tender etc tries to charge a battery already full , that causes electrolysis of water into hydrogen and oxygen = dry upper plates in battery , ruined . Automatic chargers are all BS , you simply cannot tell state of charge of a resting  battery from the volts ; it is 12.6 whether half full or full . ( you might have noticed bad batteries ( with no dead cell) still read 12.6 but go dead in seconds on starting . 

All this with EE hat on . I have been working on this for years , have an idea . But most of what I read ( series on this in auto restorer ) are 100% wrong , written empirically . The real info is in a book (SAE) written by chief engineer of Lucas batteries. 

One truth is never put a battery on concrete floor ; anyone know why ? Answer later !

Try using a “Battery Minder” as it allows you to select among the various types of battery and thus avoid damaging them.  You can also set the amperage.  Mike

I suggest Googling “charging voltage gel batteries” to get up to speed on the care and feeding of gel batteries.  It’s not just business as usual under the hood or on the end of a battery charger.

Hi to all,

     Just replaced the battery in my 57C with one from Antique Auto Battery  

in Ohio.  Original appearance Willard case and maintenance free.  $280 and worth every $ to finally be out of the lead/acid business.

 

            Best Regards
