Battery Filler

refilling batteries?

Hello Johnny............I thought refillable batteries went out years ago...........not seen one for at least 10 years.....and cant open or unseal any of the newer ones..........where do you get refillable batteries? dinosaur shop?..........and as far as duff batteries go my experience is that ANY battery whatsoever, vehicles, leisure, phones, tablets etc all last longer the more you keep em charged up..........eg I got 2 mobile phone batteries approaching 10 years old good as new.......the old beliefs of discharging then fully recharging I reckons nonsense and put out by the battery makers to get you to renew.........charge to 100%, as often as you can......steve Bristol

You thought wrong then. My current batteries purchased some 2 1/2 years ago are refillable as will be my next set. I agree they are getting harder to find though.

Of course it will, the length of duty is down to the number of times the battery has been cycled. Keep it fully charged with minimal discharge and it will last a good 10-12 years, maybe more. Take it down to it's rated no of duty cycles then it will last months or a year depending on the number of discharges.

The better way to test batteries is with a hydrometer and I use this for filling I think this is about the best I have seen allows you to watch what you are doing

I can`t believe no one checks there electrolyte levels on wet batteries, probably explains why there are so many knackered battery posts.

These are the ones I was thinking of getting, for filling my refillable BANNER BATTERIES
