What make/model charger do you have? Normal voltage immediately after charger shuts off is at least 44V, preferably higher. After resting for 12 hours, the voltage ought to be 38.2V or so, depending on battery brand. |

Re: Are my Batteries toast
Is your charger the 20 year old POWERWISE? After using the Summit II for a few months i can tell you there is a big different in Battery performance. Its like comparing a Pinto to a Corvette.
I have noticed that the Summit II will provide almost 25% more voltage than what is written on the battery during the final stage of charging. |

I noticed something when I was moving it while plugged in, If I tilt it on its back feet, I can hear a relay click and the "humm" change frequency, then the amp meter goes up to about 18, otherwise sitting flat, its only barely reading, maybe 3 amps. Also, when its at 18 amps the digital meter shows about 40 volts on the pack. Not sure whats "normal" is. Thanks |

Re: Are my Batteries toast
The Summit II have the AUTO voltage ability. 30600 about $400...well worth the money. Check out some sponsor on BGW, You need a Bluetooth phone to set Battery profile & to monitor charge & faults

Normal operation is for the amps to start at about 18A or so and stay there until the On-Charge voltage approaches about 42V, then start tapering off as the On-Charge voltage climbs to the cut-off voltage, which is in the 44V to 46V range. (It was designed to mimic the attached recommended charge profile from Trojan) Also attached is a service manual for a TC-III. Open it up and see if you can find whatever is loose. If nothing jumps out at you, rig up some way of tilting it while it charges and let it run at 18A until it shuts itself off, or 16 hours, whichever comes first. |
