Re: charger or batteries
I am about in the same boat! Last night I had to limp home. Crown batteries 4/17, max charge is 50.1 volts, weakest battery is 8.28 volts 1.26 when tested with the hydrometer. I have a 600 amp controller, I see a low of 38 volts when I first take off and levels out to 42 if I hold it down. I wonder why I can't get a higher charge than 50.1? I was thinking my batteries are getting weak and they are but I can go 7.7 miles as tested tonight and my charge dropped down by 26 percent which isn't bad at all in my opinion. That one battery that I am questioning was showing 8.02 volts when I got back and the rest about 8.18. I wonder if changing the one battery would help me or should I keep it like it is? For me to have to limp home was strange since I only went about 9 miles and according to tonights test I must have left home with a low charge that caused me to limp home. My charger is putting out 11.15 amps.
I am not trying to hijack Karly's thread but it seems like the same symptoms..\
Thanks
