Re: 1931 Model A Battery Charge Issue
I only recommend removing the battery from the car because the amount of vapor being boiled out of the battery using a charger 24hours is going to be enough to possibly start deterioration of the surrounding area, possibly the front of the beautifully reupholstered front seat, and the higher the charge rate, the more vapor.
Only a precaution, not an absolute necessity. J.C.

Re: 1931 Model A Battery Charge Issue
common causes of acid residue creating havoc is:
Overfilling the cells Overcharging Battery post to case leakage (not sealed) / case crack Smart chargers are readily available and used now in our modern society to eliminate the overcharging / boiling the cell issue. |

Re: 1931 Model A Battery Charge Issue
Disconnect the battery after it's fully charged and check it the next day to see if it lost current. If dead again I would suspect that something is still on draining it. I had a new alternator that would drain a battery overnight and it was just a tiny current drain. You didn't say if you had an alternator or generator, if an alternator it may have a bad diode.
