Cookie Monster Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 No JK - just put a charge in it to get the car started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted January 18, 2015 Member Share Posted January 18, 2015 You'll be fine. The only issue is that they have low capacity compared to most car batteries, so don't overcharge.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Deslandes Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 It's been said that they don't like the Accumate chargers as part of the conditioning/recovery process involves a higher than normal voltage. Standard original Optimate is ok and what I keep mine on all the time. They don't like parasitic loads, e.g. immobilisers so isolate when not in use or on charge.Lots in archive on the topic.
