Still learning batteries
I have new set of batteries for 36v cart. Using Scottyb break-in tutorial.
I put a charge on them and charger goes off and the pack settles after 10-12 hours at 38.5 The SOC chart shows 38.2 being 100%. Is it any concern or issue that mine seem to settle at little higher at 38.5? Using Scottyb voltage meter i installed to read the pack... Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk |

No. No concern at all.

Re: Still learning batteries
The voltages on the SoC charts are the average voltages obtained from a sample population of mature (broken in) batteries.
Newer batteries tend to have a higher 100% SoC voltage while older batteries tend to have lower 100% SoC voltage. Basically, a SoC chart is an analog yardstick rather than digital calipers. 38.5V is nothing to worry about. |

Re: Still learning batteries
That plus 'settled' is a relative term. Wait 6 more hours and the reading may drop. And 1/10th of a volt is the +/- accuracy tolerance for the meter. So Yeah, nothing to get worried about.

Re: Still learning batteries
Also, some brand batteries have a higher voltage at 100% SoC than others.
Trojan = 38.2V Exide = 38.3V Us Battery = 38.5V From about 90% Soc and lower, they are all about the same voltage. |
