Battery charging question.

No it's 50p for the first five minutes and 25p for each of the following 5 minutes.

This is a very informative answer. Unfortunately, it seems to be to some other question!

Whooosh.

The OP wanted to know about charging a battery. If you were a battery that's what I'd charge you.

Is the car alternator which charges the battery different for a 'calcium' or 'normal' battery?

Must ask next time I'm in the car parts place if they do calcium alternators. Depending on the size of the bloke behind the counter of course. :-)

from the web sluething I did when I bought a car battery recently, a calcium battery

1. has a better shelf life ( stays charged longer )
2. is more suited to higher charge voltqages ( 14v ) used in most modern cars.. ( because it uses less water )

according to the banner web page they are supposed to work ok with older cars/ lower charge rates as well though.. In answer to the OP , no I don't think you have to remove any stoppers.. this would lead to increased evaporation, any charging you do is not likely to be as fast as the alternator is capable of I would have thought.

I never thought of searching the web, even though that's my usual first port of call for information. I'll go and have a look now, and thanks for the reply.
