O.T. Battery Charging
This newsgroup has the greatest selection of experts on the web so I hope
you will excuse me for asking an off topic question about charging lead acid
batteries.
Back in the early 60's when I worked in a service station I was taught to
remove the battery caps when charging a car battery so that's how I taught
my boys to do it. My son just finished his lift truck training course and
they told him to leave the caps on. I checked a number of web sites and
they all say the same thing, leave the caps on.
My question is have I been doing it wrong for the last 50 years or at one
time was removing the caps a standard practice that has since been
considered unnecessay or unsafe?
Thanks in advance
Jimbo
