Battery Charging

[chasenfish16]

At what amp should a powerwise battery charger shutoff? My charger only seems to charge for about 3-4 hours and then kicks off at about 10-11 amps on the ammmeter on charger. This seems to be alittle high to me after reading other posts that say it should go down to about 5 amps and stay there for a while before shutting off. I am just concerned I am not getting a good topping off charge. By the way the batteries are 2 years old and I have checked each cell with a hydrometer and also load tested them all and they check fine. When the charger does kick off and I check the charge about a hour later the voltages are what the state of charge sheet says they should be. Any suggestions?

The amp meter on the charger does NOT tell you if your batteries are charged or not. On a older set of batteries it may never go below 15 amps (can't count how many people burnt up batteries trying to get it lower)

Your better off going by perfomance of the cart, having the batteries professionally tested, or getting a digital volt meter and testing them yourself to see how good, or bad the battery set is.
