Lead Battery - Advice Needed

[flameangel]

Hi,

I just got a $30 12v 7.2Ah CSB brand lead battery from SHS. On the battery it shows:

Standby use: 13.5 - 13.8v
Cycle use: 14.4 - 15.0v
Initial Current: 2.16a MAX

Wondering how much ampere shld i charge this bugger? Secondly, how often to charge the battery (when bat reach below 11.5v??)

Appreciate your kind advice. Thks

Well, just found the answer. According to website; charging shld not exceed 2.2A.

But what abt re-charging? When voltage drops to which level then charge?

Bro.. try to recharge it when it drop below 12V.. I keep mine at 12V at all time.. But why do you need a lead acid batt?? Your Tamazo T-15 is AC/DC right?

Huh.. Field charging? Thought he has one big one on 4 rubbers? That one even better right??

I use the lead acid batt at home because my AC adapter is not producing constant current.. a little seow seow one.. Hence, sometime uses the lead acid batt to charge my lipo at home.. very stable..
