Hi Folks,
Can you help me with my infantile battery questions or point me to a relevant post?
Why do forum folk recommend that batteries be removed for winter storage? Does proper storage really make a difference for battery life?
Also, I never have any idea how much juice my batteries hold so I guess I should buy something to measure with. Is a digital voltmeter what I need? If so, the prices are all over the map. I think I just need a basic one. Any recommendations on voltmeter.
My Escape is stored outside in Western Washington state. If temps matter for battery storage. We rarely have extended temps under 30 degrees F but you never know.
Also, while inspecting and cleaning up this fall i noticed a nickle sized abrasion/dent/hole in the fiberglass on her underside. Should I have this repaired?
thanks in advance for any information.
