Re: [SilverStreak] battery questions

Joe,

No.

You will see and read various "official specs" quoted as to what voltage is 
required to charge a battery. Generally the voltage is 13.96 or better, 
charges, and then "floats" back. In doubt?, just feel for heat after 1 hour 
charging, the sides of the battery. Don't forget, nothing beats a digital 
meter for real info.

Gauges in vehicles and equipment are considered "cheap jewelry", seldom 
accurate. Compare your GPS to your speedometer and odometer. Vehicle speedo 
will never be accurate thru it's entire range. Note every vehicle requires 
you to "learn" or get used to the fuel gauge. Each vehicle being different 
characteristics. Your truck may be charging just perfectly and the 
instruments reading not accurate. Your truck battery may be going to that 
great charger in the sky, and if so it will keep charge rate higher than 
normally needed. Lot's of variables.
