Having enjoyed the thread about topping up batteries, I thought I'd start one of my own :-)
We recently bought a second hand battery driven car for our son, and find that there are two 6v batteries, wired in series, to give 12v. I'm fairly sure they are motorcycle batteries. They are described as sealed, so presumably don't require any further attention.
Two questions.
We have to turn the car on to one side, i.e. through ninety degrees, to get it in and out of the house (yes, every morning, and every evening!), and always remove the batteries first. Is that necessary? Being sealed, can they safely be turned on their sides?
Should we trickle charge it every night, irrespective of the use it has had that day? I'm thinking more in terms of overall battery life, than the amount of power available the following day.
Thanks!
