Re booting Gel battery.
(Preview)
Hi all, my 100 ah battery has gone almost dead flat ( 4.04 v). I know they need to be hit with a good strong charge ala' HD battery and jumper leads, before the smaller chargers will take over.
I have a pair of battery clips that plug into the Anderson plug (which shows 12.4v) will that do it ??
Cheers DR.
