battery voltage????

[suzzie]

I charge my 36v Trojans to 44.5 volts and after takeing it off charge it goes down to 39.6 v. that's after a couple days on charger.
what does that say abought the batteries? should they hold the 44 volts?

thanks;suzzie

They should hold 38v 24 hours after the charge has ended. See chart below

No that is a surface charge and will dissipate after about 12 hours. You would like to see 38.4 volts...

Im showing 38.2 that's pretty good or is it to low?

That's on the money for 100 % state of charge so your doing pretty good...
