[QUOTE="Scott F, post: 447011, member: 23059"] To properly charge the battery, the charger should be approx. 10% of the rated capacity. That's 10 - 15 amps for most TM batteries. A battery must gas a little bit when charged to keep the electrolyte mixed. A slow charge like that will not make it form gas bubble and the electrolyte will stratify, causing the acid to settle to the bottom and water in the upper layer. The heavy concentration of acid eats up the bottom section of plates. [/QUOTE]
