Giday all
A question for all the 'auto electsperts', as i dont have the time to use the 4wd. much [too busy at work] what is the best option to keep the batteries from self distucting? Solar chargers or will they boil the bats. The other one is the electric charger that has a cutoff to stop that problem?? I only use the truck for about 2 hrs. each wk. so I want something that will do the job & no hassles!!!
Thanks in advance
Phil

How about a Delkor Calcium battery.
They were designed for new cars coming from Japan, where they spend a few weeks on the ship, a few weeks on the docks, then a few weeks in the car yard, and the sales man wants the car to start instantly.
They have a shelf life of 3 months before they start to discharge, so if you leave your truck parked then in 3 months you are guarunteed to be able to start it 1st time.
