Measurements, ratings and codes
Fitting and everyday care
A school bus parked over the summer holidays often needs a charge before term. On a 24-volt vehicle, renew both 12-volt batteries together with the same reference. Batteries that boil or smell of acid are being overcharged.
About the technology: lead-acid
Six cells of about two volts each make up a typical 12-volt battery. Older cars without auto-stop run happily on flooded batteries. Keep a flooded battery charged in cold weather.
Five checks for a perfect fit
- ✓ The capacity rating, 130Ah, should suit the consumers you run. Lots of electrical equipment calls for the higher end.
- ✓ Diesel engine? Its starting demand is high, so check that 680A covers what the maker recommends.
- ✓ Set your charger to lead-acid before the first charge.
