Batteries - Stupid Question

Post by tape »

Ok so this will prob sound stupid or like a question from a stupid person :roll: , BUT, are there bike batteries that are sealed and can be used not in a verticle position?

I'll take a few wise cracks but please be at least mindful of answering the question... :shock:

cheers

Hey Red, do you do battery chargers at all? 12V trickle charger things or similar, to suit a total loss setup?

Neka, I'm still in batteries but not lead acid car/bike/boat batteries...

However, I still have a mate who does the Deka performance brand sealed batteries that i can get you guys prices for...

This is my place -> http://www.master-instruments.com.au

Hemi, we do a charger called the Battery Fighter. It's a fully automatic 3 stage charger and very well priced against the competition. I'll PM the details.

mate..if its a trickle style charger..u better put what u pm'd up here...i was thinking more along the lines of a battery pack jump starter thing.....

if the bikes inactive for say 6mth, would disconnecting the battery suffice??

Disconnecting a battery will eventually kill the battery. When they self discharge down to below 10.8 volts, they begin the sulphate.

Puting a maintenence charger will keep it above that level all the time.
