Default Powerwise charger

My Power wise charger kicks off after 4 or 5 hours of charging at 12 amps on the ammeter on charger. This seems awful high to me, I thought it should go down to at least 4 or 5 on meter before kicking off. If this is not correct what could be causing this?

Default Re: Powerwise charger

Here are some stats from my last charge:

As soon as charger kicked off:

Total volts: 39.9
Individual battery volts: 6.57, 6.56, 6.57, 6.52, 6.50, 6.56

2 hours later:
Total volts: 37.7
Individual Battery volts: 6.28, 6.30, 6.30, 6.28, 6.27, 6.29

Batteries tested with 50 AMP load meter and all stayed in green.
Powerwise charger reading 12 amps when kicked off, approx 4-5 hr charging time from reading 1/4 charge on ezgo digital voltmeter.

Why the large drop in voltage after 2 hours? Could these be bad batteries or is problem with charger kicking off to soon at 12 amps.

Any info would be greatly appreciated

Check individual battery voltage numbers while on the charger near the end of the charge cycle. Post those numbers
