Airplane Batteries

wrote: Before I wrote my recombinant gas (sealed) battery article for Kitplanes, I called and had quite a talk with their chief engineer. It seems that a RG battery likes to be discharged to a particular level (about 12.8 volts as I recall) then recharged to 13.4, then discharged, then recharged... This, as I was told, gets the maximum life out of the RG batteries. Simply putting them on trickle charge is what kills them. Yup. If they flunk a cap check, you charge them and hit 'em again. Discharging them fully (or over-charging) is another story though... TC
