21. RE: Battery Charge Time? (score: 1): Author: "Randall" <tr3driver@comcast.net>; Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2005 12:25:08 -0700; Except of course for the wheel chairs my late wife had. Cheap #@! company used a constant voltage charger and gave instructions to never charge for more than 8 hours. I can't count how many battery; /html/triumphs/2005-09/msg00821.html (8,659 bytes)

In fact, the digital meters that I'm fond of recommending will generally not display a stable reading at all when measuring the open-circuit voltage from a typical battery charger.

If the battery's are being damaged, then the voltage must be rising to above 14.6 V for some reaso; /html/triumphs/2005-09/msg00846.html (11,030 bytes)

There are two charger companies we use with three step chargers and the chargers are way less than $250 - $300. So is a pair of group 8U batteries. Who was selling you those?

They can only put out half an amp so they can't do much damage very fast. You can put one on and let it run for a few hours and then m; /html/triumphs/2005-09/msg00887.html (8,116 bytes)
