Keep distilled water in the cells.

Another key, for car batteries is not to discharge them ever all the way.

Leaving the lights on really seems to tear down car batteries.

Been awhile, Marine batteries I seem to remember you can run down more, without damaging them.

Overall simply keeping the cells filled is a very good thing to watch over.

Damn, 3 years and I started out here in discussions of batteries. Septic tank batteries, submarine batteries, vinegar and roofing tin and copper cell batteries, voltaic batteries, batteries as the foundation of the modern electrical age...

How to make and wire cells in for amps, at volts, or in parrallel. Exide, Electrochem, Primary, Rechargable.

Batteries, Batteries, Atomic Batteries in Siberia, or out in space. Batteries The past history of batteries set us on the future, then Dynamos, and now batteries Hybrid, or Fuel Cell, or Potatoes, wires in the dirt, Batteries... Forklift batteries. 48 volts. Subs 2. What is the greatest battery ever made?

"What is the greatest battery ever made?"

Why, the Baghdad Battery.

What in the world got some Mesopotamian fella to think "Hey, I'll a copper strip and an iron spike and some wine into a jar, and see what happens."

It will be found in the battery manufacturer's instructions.
