Re: charging
If you are asking about the trickle charge it can be very low. As the pack won't need much amperage input to stay at the preset float charge level. I just went through this discussion with the engineers when I saw as little as 0.9v on the cycle.

Re: charging
Was at the farm sunday and the digital meter was on 49.3 unplugged and plugged back in it started charging. Was wondering how low of amps before the charger started another cycle on it's on.

Re: charging
Maybe I should be saying volts instead of amps.

When you unplugged it and then plugged it back in, it reverted over to another algorithm and just took your pack back up to full charge similar to how a maintenance cycle works. Nothing wrong with what you did, just don;t do it right after a normal charge as over time it will deteriorate the plates. (If mine as sat for several days, I go out the morning of and do that so the pack is topped off before I go off on it.) |

I even rotate my batteries annually with my 2 inside batteries becoming my Main + and Main - and the next year when I swap the inside set back to the outside I make the previous + a - and vice versa. |

Re: charging
Just got back from a 2+ hour night ride with lights and radio and she never missed a beat. (Although I do notice some swelling in the battery tops and a little faster self discharge in-between rides, but hey, I ain't complaining at all! ) These babies will be 8 years old in June.....
