Too high battery charging voltage

[XGamer223]

BEcause the unregulated charging system causes excessive gassing which corrodes everything and of course requires constant water additions
The plates are poorly supported so fracture sooner with the rough bumpy ride due to the lack of suspension.
Sealed batteries are only marginally more expensive that open flooded cells and will generally last twice as long.
Batteries are a funny thing.
No factory deliberately makes cheap batteries.
All of the production lines are set for top quality batteries
However every single battery undergoes a dozen test as they come offthe production line.
Those that fail get the cheap brand stickers put on them'
The ones that pass all test well get the expensive brand sticker put on them and then get packed into cartons .

Thanks for the information! I should then really go and buy a sealed battery then. But the flooded one that I used so far usually gets wet at the top after mowing, and I'll get the charging system aswell... just to be sure!

Yep,
That is carry over acid from the hydrogen bubbles
Stick your finger in it then touch your tongue
Should feel really sharp which is a charasteric of acids , think vinegar .
I have seen a few mowers where this acid has found its way to the pulley underneath it.
And that pulley is very expensive.

I wouldn't really take any acid to my tongue haha, I avoid even touching it.
But I have acid all over the battery even though that I don't charge it, it took me like 3 years to find out that they are equipped with battery charging alternators.
But I've placed it relatively safely... right between my legs haha... so I have an eye on it (and since the 60Ah battery can't really fit under the seat, it's somewhat a win-win)
