Gps Auto Charger
Will I damage my auto battery by putting it on a trickle charger too often?
I’m a cabbie, and I run a lot of electrical stuff: the meter, the dispatch computer, the 2 way radio, the Garmin GPS, and the android phone. Once or twice a week, I check the battery with a multi meter. If it’s below 12.6, I put it on the trickle charger for a few hours until it recharges to 12.8-13.0.
I don’t think anything is wrong with the battery or the alternator. It was just checked out by the dealership a couple of months ago, when I replaced an old battery.
Thank you.
I don’t think you’re doing any harm with the trickle charger.
But most of your electronics use very little power. As long as you’re running the engine most of the time you’re using that stuff, the alternator should be sufficient to keep a charge on your battery.
If it were me, I’d like to have a dashboard ammeter and voltmeter.
