Default Re: Clarafication on full charge

Ref that 51.3 peak volt after 12 hrs. rest ...... is it still necessary to remove any surface charge or does the 12hr rest negate that?

Can surface charge be removed by just making the solenoid click, or does it need to run for 5-10 seconds?

I am just trying to get a good 'state of the batteries' ...... lol

I'm glad you posted this Rib because I was going to mention something similar about my experience with US Battery red tops.

After breaking my batteries in and 24hrs post a full charge, my voltage read a little higher than 50.93v. I think it was around 52.3v IIRC.

The 12-24hr rest does remove the surface charge or if you want a truer top voltage straight off the charger and you don't have time to wait 12-24 hrs, you could take it for a 1 mile run to remove any surface charge.

But, I would trust numbers after a waiting period of 24hrs off the charger better than the 1 mile run discharge.

Thanks NCPW. My knowledge on specifics about surface charge is lacking and just trying to true reading on batteries

Biggest thing to remember is do not go under 50% SoC (personally, I never went under 75% SoC) and when not using the cart make sure it's on a charger.

Another biggie is maintenance. Keep those terminals clean, nuts tight and water levels at the proper height and you'll have years of use out of those batteries.

Now that I'm thinking about all this work....Thank God I'm using lithium

NCPW is right about all that. Water levels, terminal maintenance, charge EVERYTIME and DON'T drop under the 50% SOC.

All of that helped me stretch out my T-105's from 2012 to 2018..... I drove my cart almost on a daily basis in warm weather or cold (low 20's) and I would have made 'em go to 2019 if I "had" to.

Glad you posted that too. I was wondering why my pack of new US Batteries were holding such high voltage days after charging. Charged them Monday and they sit at 51.3 now.
