FACTS: In fact, “Surface” or continuous undercharging will lower the capacity of the battery over time and shorten its life. You will also VOID it’s warranty by not recharging it correctly.

SUGGESTIONS: The best way to restore a flat battery is to use an appropriate multistage good quality battery charger.
