exactly why i've decided to go with a better battery
make sure you charge it for 12 hrs.. (trickle)
I used to buy those walmart batteries, seems like they never lasted more then one season if that.
After reading all the posts about the cheap 4lb. walmart battery that Yamaslut started, I thought I would give it a shot.
Well that was money well wasted. I've charged it 2 times on a 1.5amp auto charger and when that failed to work, 2 more times on an advanced peak charger. It still won't turn my engine over fast enough to get it going. 5-10 seconds of cranking and you can listen to it start dying.
How did everyone else make these things work? What am I missing?
Well unless everyone is just overcharging these things and not knowing it, I would think using a sophisticated charger that senses peak charge is better than trickle charging it.
