Re: 03 Precendent With Charging Problems
U need to leave the charger on until it completed , it should shut itself off after 16
hours if not complete. Batteries build up a surface charge which takes 6-8 hours to completely dissipate, so wait 6-8 hours after charge to determine true battery voltage Then the next day do it again . keep records see if each day it gets better. keep an eye on the water level , use only distilled to fill 1/4 to 1/2 inch above plates. The batteries probably boil or bubble until the charger gets down to 5 amps. |

Re: 03 Precendent With Charging Problems
Any guarantee on the batteries
its not looking good ! if they are bad after charging ( may charge but it doesn't last very long ) if no warentee try the magnesium sulfate trick see if it will give you anything after a charge. good luck |

Re: 03 Precendent With Charging Problems
Thanks and will keep trying to build them up. Just wondering why there is no reading on hydrometer.
Working to save them and will do everything I can before choosing new batteries. They are being hard headed on wanting to charge up. So why does the charger get so warm/hot? Do I need to charge in intervals? The charger that the person has with the cart doesn't like the high amperage and must of weakened the circuit breaker. Thanks |

Re: 03 Precendent With Charging Problems
If you did your hydrometer tests at least 6 hours after filling and had charger on for some time to mix distilled water this is better indication of condition than voltage tests.
I had battery pack yesterday show 50 volts and each battery 8 volts and above, but when I ran cart around for few minutes and retested I found one battery had only 2 volts and hydrometer test showed 1.140 while other batterys showed 1.275. Im afraid your charger is trying to fill a bottomless pit so to speak with bad batterys? |
