Re: [VAL] Battery Charging or lack thereof



Bill,
Check the individual batteries with a volt meter without the Univolt on and
then with the univolt on. A fully charged 12v battery is usually around 12.8
volts however when it is being charged it should be around 13.8-14.2 volts.
This will probably vary depending on how sophisticated your charger is. The
old univolts were pretty unforgiving to batteries. I've used this method for
years on automotive charging systems and it has worked very well. As many
others have stated, I suspect your batteries are probably finished due to
overcharging.
