whistling battery

[donutBoy]

Hi all,

 

Just bought a new battery from Ah Boy.

It a maintenance free Yuasa.

 

Anyway, after filling it up with the liquid, I put it on my battery charger(Charger is a Vanson and pumps out abt 1Amp or so) to get it to be fully charged up.

 

After an hour or so, the battery starts to whistle(venting gas i think) every 5 mins.

I've taken it off the charger and its not whistling.

 

Did I just kill my new battery?

Is it still safe to use it?

 

I've checked the voltage, it's just over 13V.

Your new battery should be fine, after fill up it needs few hours to fully charged, base on your 1 Amp charger. Better check out your charger user manual.

didn't know tat batt does have sound? can ask ah boy abt this?

[donutBoy]

Yup yup.

I put it back on thecharger after a day of 'rest'. No more whistling and the charger's LED has switched to indicate that it is set to trickle charge.

 

Thanks mates.
