I am probably over thinking it, but I did notice that the positive post has a little fuse on it. I am thinking that if I am out of town for an extended period of time I would use my keyline maintenance charger with the cigarette adapter to key the battery in top condition. Is there any reason ( computer) that this is not recommended?
If you're asking if it's alright to utilize a battery charger to keep a peak charge in the battery, the answer is, yes. However, the car is utilizing a AGM battery and requires a smart charger, that will not overcharge the battery with a continuous flow of energy. Smart Chargers shut themselves down and run a sequences of test to keep the battery on peak charge. The best are ones with a desulfating cycle.
I guess I am old-school and cheap. I am charging my car every three weeks with a regular charger to keep it up to date due to the parasitic load of the electronics. I charge my tractor battery every three weeks also. I have thought of one of these but see it as a luxury. I am open to repudiation here.
Things have change between lead acid and Gel. Lead acid you can top off the battery with fluid or even change the fluid completely but desulfating a battery is a must on either type. With a smart charger, you just plug it in and forget about it, the charger does the rest.
Lots of new cars sport AGM batteries. But what are they? Here’s the big deal.
