float charger
Today I was messing around in the garage and decided to start the
riding mower. Well the battery was dead. My neighbor says he keeps a float charger on his all winter. Can someone tell me what a float charger is and what does it do? Is it the same as a battery maintaner? Thanks for any info |

Google and you'll find it. It's basicly a slow charger that will charge the battery up to a full charge, then monitor it and maintain it at a full charge. If you don't use one, batteries will self-discharge over time. Leaving a start type battery discharged for any length of time will ruin it. |

Thanks for any info Here's the one I've been using 24/7 on my generator for the past two years. No issues. I know what everyone says about HF products but you have to pic and choose. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=42292 |

I think the reason many of them only last a few years is that people let them get discharged over the winter and that's what ruins them. I've seen many small batteries of this type last as long as a car battery if you take care of them. |
