Additional information on car and deep cycle batteries maybe found on the Web site at http://www.batteryfaq.org/. For example, there is a frequently updated list containing hyperlinks to lead-acid battery manufacturer's sites, battery brand names, private labeling information and telephone numbers. There are two lists with hyperlinks to battery related product information and references about lead-acid batteries, for example, charging systems, regulators, isolators, test and monitoring systems, associations, books, magazines, history, directories, standards, etc. Also, there is a zipped (.zip) file of all documents and graphics contains of this Web site. It can found at Battery.zip.
Most of the battery manufacturers have a Battery FAQ posted on their web sites in addition to product information, specifications and charging voltages and procedures. Web addresses will often change, so you can use an Internet search tool like http://www.google.com/, http://www.yahoo.com/, etc. to locate the new addresses. These search tools are very effective in finding specific topics as well.
I will be happy to try and answer your lead-acid battery and charging questions. Historically, over 80% of the questions I receive have already been answered in the FAQ posted on this Web site, so please check it first. Some of the e-mails I receive do not have a valid return address, so please inclose a valid "Reply To:" e-mail address in your message and include a "Subject:" that will not be blocked by your spam filter or firewall. All e-mail received with a virus or worm will be automatically deleted. For errors, omissions, comments, suggestions or questions, please e-mail Bill Darden at info@batteryfaq.org.
I highly recommend that you hyperlink to http://www.batteryfaq.org/ rather than republishing any of these documents because the information is frequently updated to keep up with advancements in batteries and changes in the battery industry, resources, hyperlinks, telephone numbers, etc. Major revisions will be indicated a higher version number and more recent date and minor changes with just a more recent date.
