Re: Battery charger choice for Optima type battery?
Just going to add my 2 cents to this thread...........
I learned a trick about charging gel-cell batteries from when they first came on the market....
If your gel-cell will not take a charge try the procedure below....
Take your charger and connect the cables to a conventional lead-acid battery next you connect, in parallel (negative to negative and positive to positive, + to + and - to -), your gel-cell battery with a pair of jumper cables. Turn on your charger with the lowest charging rate that you haveā¦..
This will put a load on the charger and act as an electrical damper for the gel-cell.....
I have brought many gel-cells back to life with this procedure.....
