Scarab has been laid up and well-covered since November when she last ran. I did not remove the battery.
All the accessories work and the hatch has been up/down a number of times since March, but I decided to charge the battery, since I didn't all winter. (Yes, I know I ran a risk of a depleted battery being vulnerable to a freeze).
Well, she is currently charging at 4 amps. My charger will automatically charge from 2-10 amps and the meter is reading 4 amps.
I have to admit ignorance here. What is a good reading, and best way to test the battery? I am trying to be more budget conscious, instead of just replacing stuff whether it needs it or not.
