So I finally installed a permanent voltmeter into my truck, so I can keep an eye on my battery bank. (The very expensive but super nice Blue Sea 1733.)
Yesterday morning, about 22 hours ago, I hooked up a Noco G7200 (previous generation) battery charger to the two-battery 12v starter bank, and enjoyed watching the voltage slowly climb. Went out this morning, and noticed the following:
Going to go measure the specific gravity.
Yesterday morning, about 22 hours ago, I hooked up a Noco G7200 (previous generation) battery charger to the two-battery 12v starter bank, and enjoyed watching the voltage slowly climb. Went out this morning, and noticed the following:
- The charger was blinking the 100% indicator, meaning it was almost fully charged, which seems odd since it has been around 22 hours.
- The voltmeter showed 13.96v, which seems really high.
- Unpluged the charger, replugged the charger: it now thinks the bank is fully charged, meaning that it should be maintenance/trickle mode.
- Voltage floated back down and is stable at 13.05v.
