Re: Low battery water - exposed plates
New batteries should not consume water at that rate. Your charger is over charging them for some reason.

Re: Low battery water - exposed plates
If you even think that it is putting out 65 volts during the FLOAT mode of charging then you should NOT be using that charger and should be in contact with DPI in order to trouble shoot the issue... As commented your float voltage should be roughly 53 to 54 volts... You either have a defective charger or a defective battery (batteries?) that refuse to accept full charge. That could be causing the charger to never shift into float mode?
What color are the LED on the charger face? You should have one RED for POWER and one GREEN for FLOAT if you are seeing a YELLOW in place of the GREEN you are still in the ABSORPTION stage. This could indicate a defective battery. |

Re: Low battery water - exposed plates
One other piece of information, from day 1 when I power up the meter on the charger bounces erratically for about 10 sec, drops to zero, charging led comes on and then amps come up and stay smooth. I had posted that info here when I got it but no one seemed to indicate that it was not normal.
Anyway, DPI is sending new board. Said needle bouncing not normal. Will update after I change. Thanks |

Let us know how the charger behaves with a new circuit board installed... Just be sure to keep a closer watchful eye on the finished float voltage (53/54 VDC) as previously recommended... |

Re: Low battery water - exposed plates
After 24 hours on the charger,
Battery voltage was at 63.5, charged led green, 3-4 amps. Discounted charger and after 15 min batt voltage at 53.4. Individual batteries between 9.3 and 9.38. DPI sending board but also said if incorrectly wired from factory could cause strange symptoms and still work. Will post when I get new board. |
