Default Do I have a charger problem?

I have 8-6volt batteries in my cart. The batteries are brand new trojan t145's (I bought them last friday). The cart has a built in quick charge corp. charger. The charger is reading 26% charged right now but the batteries are at 6.8v each and the pack is at 55.3v. Should I let this keep charging? Are they overcharged? Thanks everyone for the help, I dont want to ruin these new batteries.

You are close. That is about ~94% of the 6.37 needed. (Remember this should be checked 12 hours after the charge cycle completed and before used again. Remember to break-in/season those batteries correctly to make them last!

And I do not know the specs on your charger but a CC Powerdrive and OBC we were discussing in the other thread are different then your cart and charger.

They can go to 7.5v or more by the end of the charging cycle.

Charger says that they are completely charged. Meter shows 6.7v still hooked up to auto charger.
