Cycling is a death wish for a calcium/calcium flooded battery. The clown circus car shone a spotlight on this with the DELCO VOYAGER RV BATTERY. My 2-year experience with a Mexican GOHNER cal/cal battery proved it to be unsuitable for a car. Almost lab perfect conditions. Never over or undercharged. NEVER cycled even a single time and a <10 milliamp key off draw. Car was driven a few times per week never at night, no A/C and engine always started with less less than 3 seconds of cranking.
Phenomenally un-stressful. And it took a dump
Calcium calcium works best in emergency exit lights with correct float charging then a 1 minute exercise during a blackout. Then they should be changed.
Calcium/Calcium is about as worthless as a honka green snot for cars.
Unbelievably ignorant the Germans are with charging systems...
"How unbelievable were they? Tell Us! Tell Us!..."
Take a Sauerkraut Mobile that seals so air tight it's floating ability became legendary. Stick a flooded lead acid battery under the back seat where the seat had steel support for the springs. WAIT! I'm, not done!!!!
Then use a generator that became legendary for having it's voltage regulator stick and jam charge the generator gassing the people inside the car. Don't know if Himmler played a role in the concept...utterly disgusting.
Not even Britain's Prince of Darkness, Lucas the company that inadvertently stumbled upon the interval windshield wiper can top that one...
