how to drain a battery

[moxy 617]

A car buld would be the same, if your radio is 12v?? then that would do

 

Is it a 6 or 12v?

LOL, i meant your battery not your charger.

 

Feck me a 230v battery you would need more than a motorbike bulb to flatten it, you could plug in your 52"lcd tv

Your radio wont do, also check the output of your charger, it may struggle to fully charge a 26a battery.

 

There must be somebody you can tap a 12v bulb out of??

 

If not pm me your details and i will solder you one togeather and get it to you

Automotive batteries are designed to be charged from the vechicles alternator and discharged at the same time, draining them right down will damage them.

 

I assume you are talking about gel batteries for shooting lights etc, these are also used as standby power in burglar alarms. I am aware the the general view is to fully discharge then recharge, personally I recharge after every use without discharging fully. My current set of batteries I have had for maybe 5 years.

No need mate, just put them on trickle charge after a nights use, my batteries are still going strong after 4 years +
