Battery

[Bird]

Why would you change your car battery if it goes flat ? My battery on my freelander 2 has gone flat - so I've disconnected it, breather pipe and everything and stuck it on charge !! Surely that makes sense instead if buying a new one ? Surely that will work !!

If the cells are in good condition and its fluid is topped up then yes , normally it should recover . Does depend on how long its been discharged I think .

There is no terminals for topping up distiller water so should be ok left on slow charge overnight I think

Is it a gel filled one ?

How old is it ?

IME, once modern batteries go, they go, just get a new one.
