Archive
The archive lists every page of the reference: they are arranged by year of preparation, and each has a topic tag. The filter above the list leaves only what you need: pages on charging, testing, winter, storage, how it works, safety or recycling. The archive grows together with the feed of new pages, so here you always see the full picture of what is already available to read.
The archive has no placeholders or promises for the future: every line leads to a page you can already open and read from start to finish. If the topic you need isn't here yet, look at the catalogue on the practical guides page, which lists what the editors are working on.
How the archive works: an entry appears here only after the page has been published and its text checked against owner's manuals and training materials on automotive electrical systems. The dates show when a page was prepared, and the topic tag helps you pick out what you need. We correct outdated information on the page itself rather than creating copies, so every entry leads to the current version. There are no separate pages for long-closed addresses: the reference starts with a clean slate. If you don't know where to begin, choose the "testing" tag: those pages will help you quickly understand what state your battery is in and suggest what to do next, whether to charge it yourself following the manual or show it to a specialist.
