Robert Leskovec plans to conduct a “Battery Workshop” for analyzing and maintaining 12V vehicle, and emergency generator standby batteries. He will present a demonstration of a “quite affordable” digital battery analyzer, a new compact battery charger/pulse rejuvenator, and several ‘trickle’ chargers, and discuss things like “why did the battery go dead even though I had it on a maintenance (trickle) charger?” He will then open it up to discussion about others’ experiences. With colder temperatures on the way, this will be timely information to share or update your knowledge on.
We may also have discussion on other topics: EAS, the Repack, or whatever else may be of interest, as time permits.
See you at the library on January 14th!
