I am interested whether the various batteries mentioned are traditional (with accessible filler caps) or Low Maintenance (usually sealed or semi sealed, and maybe mention of calcium etc).
Low maintenance batteries are even less suited to extensive un regulated use in car, and traditional bench charging technique is also unsuitable.
Many are using modern bench chargers intended to be left on and suited to Low Maintenance batteries. If anyone has monitored charge volts over time with an accurate meter I would be interested in the results.
(For moderns not in regular use, it is ironic that the Low Maintenance batteries hold charge indefinitely but the diodes in the car draw constant current and run the battery down as of old)
