I have a few different 12v Lead Acid batteries, mostly SLA AGM but a few old school FLA with the water caps.
Is there quick and simple guide to how to take care of these guys, that is based on science as opposed to marketing BS? Specifically about maintenance, reconditioning, desulfation / desulfating, or whatever you want to call it.
With NiCDs and NiMHs it is pretty straightforward -- memory effect, need to be charge cycled on occasion.
With Lithium it is also straightforward -- make sure you have an umbrella policy :lol:
With LA it is... not straightforward. And becomes even more confusing with wet, AGM, and "gel" batteries
