[QUOTE="condor22, post: 242999, member: 1932"] Fluffy, had a good look at the test results, might I ask if you have a boat? If so you now have 3 spare anchors..... :) Re your test results - after a 20amp load for 1 to 2 hours your batteries should be at approx. 80% @ 12.5V and 60% @ 12.15V. That they are nearer 9V (which is dead) shows they are as above, boxes of scrap metal. BTW I got a bit over $30 for my 100AH last year from a scrap merchant, so you have about $100 in that regard. I asked if you knew how old they were? The 2 common reasons for this happening if they are not that old are; [list=*] [*]Improper charging - know what you put in[/*] [*]Cycling too deep, too often - Know what you take out[/*] [/list] [/QUOTE]
