Battery a gonner...

[Clearview Lee]

Had Batt around 6months. Charged it over night as didn't use for a day and a bit. Got started this morning and now reading Batt: 11.2!! Obviously need to buy a new one, but does that put me out of action for the rest of the day?? Presumably the one I now go and buy needs charging for a good while??...such a bugger!! Busy-busy...

new batteries are fully charged.

they may need a top up charge if they have been sitting for a while.

I think from my old school days they are all partly charged in fact depending on the time on the shelf these days fully charged..

it damages batteries not to keep em with charge in..

ya beat me to it gto../emoticons/biggrin.png

my big problem is ...are they really dead....I would keep struggling until one day...yes they are no good.../emoticons/biggrin.png

dreading the day my backpack one dies....

not a clue how your supposed to get to it...

probs easier to just buy another..£85 ..

Cheers fellas.

I can remember my last batt (which I kept) went on me - or rather I thought it went on me, but turned out to be the pump! so gonna charge that up and see what happens as it was only a couple of months old. See if that gets me through the day first. Gonna work the afternoon instead, and give it a good charge over night and see what's what b4 buying a new one.

Thanks once again! Great website with helpful people, this.

Thanks very much! So ctek over a Numax charger??...I have a tripe Halfords charger at the mo, but made a note to buy a Numax from other guys on here last year sometime. They both look different, so what is the difference??...

 

[firefly123]

halfords chargers are useless for leisure batterys mate get a ctek you wont go wrong

 

[firefly123]

ctek is designed to do a slow and timed charge on your battery will charge a 85 amp in 5 or 6 hours

yes we talked about this but...

we agreed we only want window cleaners on here and not....

custys...as we want to tell tales in peace..

but i think there are some printable leaflets on site which you can hand out to other windies if you spot them...

anyways...spread the word as the more windie tales the better../emoticons/biggrin.png

and good luck with your new battery..

so far my backpack hit the red and set off the alarm one day for no reason thought it was dead but never done it since..always works fine now..

For the past 2 years I've been using a cheapo (£10) 6amp Trickle Charger from a local small car-spares shop.....does the job and never had a problem charging my 110a/h batteries over-night.

It's just never steady cleaning with me. Ever!!! Now my water is just spitting through!!!!!! No fecking annoying. Numax Batt brand new and charged, but water spitting. Whenever I get something sorted, another problem arises. The last batt was gone thou. My pump is only 5 months old. Makes me angry when I need to make money to pay my bills and I can't. Just paid £7,000 for my new van I need to pay back!!
