I think by the time you get to the stage when you need to refill with acid, the battery's got all four legs pointing skywards anyway. -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Triumph Street Triple Honda CB400F Suzuki TS250 Suzuki GN250 chateaudotmurrayatidnetdotcom Nothing damages a machine more than an ignoramus with a manual, a can-do attitude and a set of cheap tools

Sure you did. <chortle> *I* worked on Apollo 11, 12, 13; the Concordes; every Airbus A380; I assembled Glamorous Glennis all by myself; and I was the inflight mechanic for Charles Lindbergh during his historic flight. BTW, more incorrect "Krusty facts": That B-52 (known as "Balls 8") was retired in 2004. Nobody believes anything you say. -- -bts -Four wheels carry the body; two wheels move the soul

You *never* add acid to a battery, you add electrolyte to the battery under certain specific conditions, i.e., when the battery is fully charged but the electrolyte level is low. I seem to be the only person in the world that knows to add electrolyte to a fully charged battery which has a low electrolyte level. ---------------------------- "its not me - its everybody else".

The OP has *never* described the results of a voltage regulator cycling test or what RPM the engine was turning when he saw 14.39 volts on his digital VM. However, he did describe letting the engine idle while he shopped garage sales. That would definitely cause the battery to discharge and sulfate. |
