Any ideas why the batch of them aren't coming to green light? Nope, no ideas.

Could I trouble you for the make and model of the battery charger? Found your charger: http://www.canadiantire.com/AST/browse/4/Auto/3/Batteries/BatteryChargers/PRDOVR~0111503P/MotoMaster+10%2B2A+Automatic+Battery+Charger.jsp?l ocale=en Where do you have the switch set? Conventional or AGM-Deep Cycle? Does it match the type of battery? If you're not sure, the make and model number of the batteries please? http://www.batteryuniversity.com http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_the_lead_acid_battery I don't trust that type of cheapo battery charger. http://802.11junk.com/jeffl/pics/drivel/slides/dead-battery-chargers.html All but one in the picture were either blown, or have successfully killed at least one battery. One boiled all the water out of a battery. They're all junk. I took a few apart to see what was inside, but all eventually went to the recyclers. Your Canadian Tire charger is probably something similar, except in a metal case. Buy something with a microprocessor, temperature compensation, battery temp sensor, multi-stage charging, automatic (so you can leave it connected) etc. Plan on burning at least $200. You'll probably save that much by not killing batteries. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |
