If I want to charge a calcium car battery, do I have to loosen off the plastic stoppers on the top of the battery first? Is the charging procedure the same as for a normal battery?
Sorry for asking stupid questions!
Thanks a lot Garry

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
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.
