Default Power backup ideas

Measured it yesterday. 12.9 to 13.0 volts DC on battery terminals.

To avoid sulfation I assume I need a new charger. Trouble is, who
knows what the output voltage will really be? Can't trust package or
ad info on line. Too late to find out after I unwrap it and plug it
in. I suppose I could buy a big fancy expensive charger with output
voltage control, if such a thing exists. sigh






is there no load on it?


Just the battery.

let it sit a few days and see if the voltage comes up.


Nope. as of 9/4 still 12.9 to 13 VDC on the bettery terminals.

If the battery was discharged and the charger is small, it can take a
while for the voltage to come up,,,, a while..... as in days.
