battery question

toogood4ubalius79

I have a 1995 upgraded to a 48 volt 2006 CC i use for hunting i just replace my trojan t 875 to trojan t 890 for the little more run time because i needed it . one of the batteries when i got them out of the six had 8.15 volts in it and the others had 8.51 and up they are B 9 so i take that they are Feb. batteries he told me that was the freshest he could get.. i figured that battery could have been in a different climate and it dis charged quicker. i paid 122 a piece which i price them and that was very well for were i live. The guy said he would replace it if it give me troublle so here i am on day two with batteries and i only went about a half of a mile and came back to charge and it been charging four or five hours is that normal.. i dont want to fry my other batteries i put a volt meter on the so called weaker battery on 5th hour and it was charging at 9.70 and the others was a little over ten volts.. and info on new battery in stall will be great thanks in advance

Your battery pack is unbalanced. Take out the weak battery & charge it with an 8-volt charger. When it reads with the rest of the pack place it back in & charge the pack until the charger shuts off.

keep an eye on that one battery,if it is going to fail it will be within the firsrt year and will be covered under warranty.

For future reference, I would try to get fresher batteries. I'm sure yours will be ok but 6 months is usually considered the limit before batteries should be installed.

GarageBuilt

Correct.
And also take the time to break them in properly.

whats your opinion or facts on breaking them in properly thanks p.s i went out this morning and the charger was off and the weaker battery was up to 8.51 like the rest of them should i check it any thing else with it like after i run it, do i check that battery to see if it comes up like the rest of the pack....before i plug it in to charge.. thanks agains

I will tell you how I do mine. You will hear different ways from different guys.
Always charge new batteries before using them. Then I run them down 30-35% Then recharge. I do this around 40 to 50 times. Never run them Pass 50% until they are broken in. And get good charger. Delta Q. Well worth the money. They are thought of highly throughout the industry.

GarageBuilt

No.It wont hurt them. Go Take a 30 min to 1 hour little trip. Recharge them. You'll be fine. Have fun.
