I have a battery for my TR4 that has seen better days.
The date sticker says Jan 91. It has been sitting for the past 5 years or
so. When I got it, it was dead dead dead; only read 1.3 volts or so. My
automagic charger wouldn't even recognize that it had a battery hooked up.
I got the charger to go by giving the battery a "jump start" with a
different battery (small Ni-Cd pack for radio control car) and now the
charger is putting 3 amps into the battery (half rated output)
Am I flogging a dead horse? (er battery) Can old batteries be revived?
I intend to charge it in cycles (ie one day on, one day off), and problems
with this?
Thanks,
-Malcolm
