Charge Time?

JMatyas · 09-13-2008, 03:59 PM

I just got a 2001 EZGO TXT 2+2. I replaced four of the batteries which were old and leaking with new T-605's. The other two were one year old NAPA batteries which I left in. I hooked up the charger and it has been charging for about seven hours. The charger is reading 8 amperes but hasn't shut off yet. I am eager to ride it for the first time. How long do you think it will take to fully charge the batteries?

I did a search and found that it may take more than twelve hours or I should let it charge overnight. I will search first in the future.

You can unplug the charger and ride just put it back on the charger when you are done. Down to 8 amps tells us it is nearing the end .....always connect/disconnect the AC line first

Something to think about when charging. Each time you hook the charger up it takes one more charge off the life of the batteries, with that said I always let it finish charging before I disconnect it. Just something to think about.
