Rees Bevan 3 Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I've just bought a PL20-12 Powerline Battery 20Ah, I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to make the battery last. For example I've been told charging the battery for 5 minutes after you come home from a rainy night will help, also using a cheap battery charger as it doesn't wreck the battery.

Rees Bevan 3 Posted August 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Ah, after re-reading I realise I worded this totally wrong. I mean how to stop a battery from breaking or not holding charge etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

moxy 617 Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Use the correct charger and don't charge it every time you have used it unless it's low. That way it won't develop a memory. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
