I store my westy each fall and pull the battery. Before this past winter I
would put it on a charge every few weeks so when spring came battery was
ready to go. This past winter because I was heading to Florida I bought a
couple of Harbor Freight (I know) trickle 2A chargers that are supposed to
maintain and not over charge- one for the stored battery and one hooked up
to my Eurovan. Checked the stored battery and found two cells completely
dried up and two low on water. Testing says battery is dead. The E Van
battery seems to be ok. So question is since both vans are sitting for long
periods will moving up to a more advanced ( expensive) battery maintainer
not cook the cells if left on for a month or two or do batteries still need
looking after? Thanks for any replies.
