Bellman and flint Battery

[Old Days 0]

Hi, need to discharge my B and B battery as I wont be using it for a while, I was told I need to fully charge the battery and then after 4 to 6 weeks fully discharge it.

How do I discharge it.

By no means an expert and hopefully someone else will be along with a better answer but personally I would assume you would just turn on whatever it is connected to until it’s completely flat

I've always left mine fully charged at the end of season still going strong 7 years later.

Letting mine run fully out of charge ruined mine, was perfectly fine when I used to just charge it up after every weekend

My last Battery went dead after about 2 years with good use, contact B&F who replaced old batterie for 90 Quid,

They told me to charge fully and then discharge fully every 4 to 6 Weeks.

Contact B&F who said to turn on and let it discharge itself, after 4 Days it's still at 88% there must be another way.

It's not in their interest to give you advice to make battery last for years.

Yes, that would seem to be the case

They charge that much to change a battery so you just buy a new collar,bunch of money grabbing tossers and listen to there advice at your peril...
