sexymexi:
i've just been runnin my sla this weekend, and i was wondering, should i de-charge it before charging it full?  i figured yes, but i thought i should ask.  anyone's help is appreciated.

dklein:
Definitely not.  SLAs are like car batteries - full discharge bad for battery life.  You might be thinking of NiCads.

sexymexi:
but how do you regulate power in the battery for charging, specifically so you don't cook the battery and destroy it?

gonads:
your charger should do this for you

sexymexi:
as far as i know it doesn't have nhythingo n it that will tell me if its done, its a real simple charger, so...   would i have to see what amperage its pushin, and then guess the tiem from there to full charge??
