Re: charger or OBC?
It will take it a while to fully charge a new set of batteries. The OBC will time out at 16 hours. If so, unplug it and wait a few seconds and plug it back in or drive it a little and then come back and recharge. It will cut off at a minimum 58.3v or 16 hours. After a few charge cycles it will get much faster. You have to season those batteries.
You will need close to 40/50 charges before they are at full strength. Try to run it down to at least 80% and no lower the 50% over these charge periods. |

Re: charger or OBC?
The important thing is what voltage are they at after the charger is finished and they set a few hours. They should be at 50.9V.

Re: charger or OBC?
doing an experiment using 2 different chargers..first was the modern Summit2,the pack voltage came up quick to 60V then noting LED lights (has no amp meter)that charge-status amber light still on,BUT the voltage starts dropping slowly (not fast, like when you unplug befor final charging)
Next I used older lester #09695 transformer type High output 25A.voltage goes up to 60.5V,its pulling 10amps on meter-on-charger,THEN starts dropping voltage REAL slow (drops .5V in 20 mins) while still pulling 11 amps??maybey something defective with these new batts? |

Re: charger or OBC?
I would still put them thru several charge cycles and see how they react/perform.
What brand batteries are they? |

Re: charger or OBC?
Sounds like they're fully charged already and the charger is just moving into the absorption phase in a shorter time.
Of the several battery packs I've replaced I usually get them fresh off the Trojan truck (within a week or so anyway) and they never need more than a couple hours for the first charge. Run it a few times and let the pack run down some and let them cycle a few times and I'm sure they'll be fine. |
