smart chargers and Accumates

[Greig Smith]

Jon while you are in there, clean all the battery cable fixing points - both the terminals & the terminal clamps, apply a tiny wipe of vaseline to the terminals & inside the terminal clamp once they are sanded clean, also sand the fixing at the battery lead on the starter, but most importantly the return earth from the battery to the motor - you should ideally have another lead from the motor to the chassis / body especially if you have a rubber footed crankcase. I normally run a lead from one of the starter bolts to the chassis.

Bad earths can lead to poor cranking & hard starting. I have 2 smart chargers from Granite Digital in the USA and leave batteries on them for extended periods and have never had a problem
