Just been to the Auto Elec to get the battery and alternator output checked before our next trip.
I noted on a bench, 5 batterys all of different sizes/conditions being charged simultaneously off a single charger. It was one of those old VANE brand things, with a transformer as big as a house brick !!
I daren't not ask him about the practice- as I reckon he'd know more about battery charging than I'll ever know !!
The ole fella has been there for yonks (even still has a pounds /shillings/pence cash register).
So is there some new theory in battery charging that wasn't around 40+ years ago?? that specifys batterys charged in parallel must be of equal capacity and type??
