Re: charger or batteries
If the water in the batteries is dark in color and almost black than the batteries need to be replaced. Its interesting that you still get 16-18 miles on a charge though. The only way to see what the charger is doing is to know what the amp output is when charging. It could very well be putting out low amperage and this will cause the charger to also run and run until it times out because its not putting out the amperage to charge the batteries and this could also be the reason for the dark water. Again, check the voltage under load and see how far it drops. also, for a dealer to sand down and re-stamp a battery would be a complete disrespect to reputable dealers and i would hope they dont do that but in this day and age, nothing surprises me.
