a fully charged 12v battery will read 12.6v. 1.1v per cell.
fully charge then 'take the top charge off' by connecting to a 12v fan(or similar) for about 30 - 60 seconds - that should be your true v's. Only then should it read 12.6.
A flat battery reads 12.39 and lower.
Store batteries in a warm place fully charged charge after use
a low battery will misfire before it fails to start the kart
the new rotax batterys seem to be very good, I wouldnt waste my time with any other (cheaper) battery.
trickle charge the night before a race and a good battery will last all day
The average 12v battery will last 3.5 years.
Hope this helps.
Although I have a sealed red top race battery here that is 18 years old.
