  • Monitoring a battery’s acceptance of a charge can be done in two ways: . With a D.C. voltage meter: This involves a expensive meter and a great deal of time. Charge the battery for a set amount of time: anywhere from to hours, let the battery rest for one hour check the electrical state of charge. repeat the cycle until there is no increase in D.C. voltage. This is the Maximum amount of energy the batter will accept. . Get a battery hygrometer. Get a cheap plastic one with the movable pointer. This should be about $ and will involve exposure to harmful battery acid. Get a sheet of paper and in a location that will not matter if surfaces are damaged hook your battery up for a charge. Write the specific gravity number down on three different cells every hour. When there is no increasing specific gravity numbers for one hour that is the maximum energy that your battery will accept….stop charging it. If you have a battery charger that should shut off monitoring this and it didn’t shut off …it is defective and needs a new monitoring board or has a loose connection. The charger monitoring board checks the charging voltage something like times a second and will notice a full charge if functioning before you will. To charge in addition above this will expose your battery to damage and reduced cycle life. A new battery in perfect shape will charge to .-. V/ cell or .-. specific gravity. These values will decrease in temperatures above F as the battery will accept less energy above that temperature. While you have exposed yourself to battery acid check all the cells they should be reasonably close to the same specific weight.

  • Motorcycle batteries are dry charged to about %.

    If you don’t give the battery a top up charge (- hours)

    which will greatly shorten the life span of the battery.

    A friend of mine let his insurance lapse and was stopped at in traffic a van rear ended his car causing to hit?

    car the car in front the van (ran from accident )hit and run ,could not get license number his car was totaled hardly no damage to the car in front no injury.how to pay for vehicle still financed .police was called gave van details and person driving details and what happend.If no one ever catches the driver of the van, and they probably won't, no one will pay for the damage to your car.That's why the finance company REQUIRES you to carry insurance on THEIR car. It's not optional. Unfortunately, these bad decisions are going to be very expensive for you this time. Just treat it like an expensive life lesson and don't let it happen again, can't change the past, right? Here's one bit of advice, no matter what you're thinking about doing, don't stop paying on that car note just because the car's gone.The guy above me got almost everything right. Here are the two things they're talking about that you don't have to worry about.You don't have to worry about legal recourse from the car you were pushed into. You have no liability for their damages or injuries, the at fault party left the scene. It doesn't Read more

    how to adjust the piston or rear caliper when fitting new pads ,does it slide or screw?

    as the piston is well out <peogeot for REAR disc brakes, it actually has to be turned while there is pressure on it to get the piston back in. i used a c clamp to put slight pressure while i turned the piston. autozone will loan you the tool for this for free (it was loaned out the day i needed it is why i had to get creative to do it)you need a resetting tool to screw the piston back into the caliperdoes it have a parking brake built onto the caliper? if it does more than likly it screws in.

    what should I do about hitting a car?

    I got into a fender bender about a month ago and the girl didn't file a police report or anything because I don't have insurance, I told her I would pay her what the estimate was. Well I just found out around a month later that the estimate was around . I was not all in fault and her friends were driving her uncles car and parked in the middle of the parking lot...that's why I backed into it. Anyways after a month has gone by and I told her I would pay her in october can they even do anything legally anymore?? Just wondering.She can take you to small claims court. Since you were driving without insurance, which is illegal, they will likely come after you harder, even if you feel it isn't totally your fault. Try making payments. She really cut you a break. Consider it you get out of jail free card, literally. Don't try to screw her over for doing something nice for you.Ok you hit a parked car so you are at fault. You are uninsured, so you cant file a claim on your policy. You have options; ; Go to a repair shop, tell Read more

    what would cause a car to lose all power. It idles great, but as soon as you give it gas it boggs down?

    ✅ Answers? Favorite Answera bad set of plugs or a bad throttle position sensor or even a clogged air filter will cause that too happen to it,,if you have it scanned you may get a trouble code from it that will help you in finding out whats wrong with it,even a bad - sensor will cause one to bog down like that,you need to give us an engine size and year of the vehicle,good luck.Source(s): been a certified mechanic for yrs now.I thing it could be the fuel filter. if you haven't changed it, well is a good time now. I had the same related problem but with a ford contour. and I ended up changing a fuel filter and a fuel pump. everytime a hit the gas pedal all the way, it would bogg or just turn off. try the fuel filter first and then if it doesn't resolve the problem then it could be a fuel pump problem. now don't discard other problems such as a coil pack or spark plugs and wires. check those out too. good luck with your car.Sounds like somethings going on with your air/fuel mixture. Possibly a faulty mass air flow sensor. Also Read more
