Re: charging 8 volt batteries
Thank you so much. Very good directions. I will get a jumper wire and give it a try.
Thanks again Chuck |

Re: charging 8 volt batteries
Just as an FYI, You do not need a jumper, the Relay contact quick connect is the same size as as the AC Breaker (0.250").
Just move the transformer wire from the Relay to the Breaker, see picture below with my annotations on the bottom right. http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/attac...ger_jumper.jpg |

Re: charging 8 volt batteries
I would start a new thread on this but if its been 17 hours I would stop , let batteries rest a while , check water level and get the voltage of each battery before I hook back up....one or more battery may not be coming up as well as the others....

Re: charging 8 volt batteries
I checked voltage of each battery, all at about 8.15 volts each. Then I let the batteries set for a week and voltage held in all batteries, so no short. I plugged the charger back in after setting so long and let it charge all night for about 13 hours. I unplugged charger and rechecked the individual battery voltage, now at about 8.55 volts each. Plugged the charger back in and amp meter has dropped to 6 amps but is still charging. My question is, will these batteries ever fully recharge again? They were new in 2018.

Re: charging 8 volt batteries
Just a quick follow up, I let the charger charge all night and by morning the charger had completed and was in standby mode, so all is good, everything seems to be back to normal. Thanks Budule and all the previous posters!
