moh.vze.com Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 (edited) Last night I put the Ctek 7002 charger on my XS D2400 in snow flake / agm mode and it charged at 14.5V, this morning I checked it with my DMM and it read 13.5V. I tooked it off the charger and 3 hrs later, went to recheck my battery and it only read 12.6V. How come the battery is not fully charged? Isn't it suppose to be from 12.8-13.1 for a full charge (According to XS Power Site)? Did I not put it on the charger long enough? I'll throw my charger on the XP3000 tomorrow to see if there is a defect with the charger itself Edited March 29, 2012 by moh.vze.com Quote DC Audio - Singer Alternators - Knukonceptz - XS Power - Hybrid Audio - Rockford Fosgate - Second Skin Audio - SMD - Sundown Audio - Elemental Designs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skullz Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 If i'm not mistaken 12.8v would be the correct resting voltage but i think you'll want someone with more knowledge of where the resting voltage should be to chime in though.

moh.vze.com Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 What charge state did you let it reach on the charger? The final stage? It went to the final stage (there are 4 stages) Thats weird I got the same charger and I charge two kinetiks at the same time over night and theyll rest around 13.0, how long have u had your batterries? This is a Brand New battery that I got from Audio Savings. No more then a month old. On the charger did it say it was fully charged? After the 4th stage there's a thing that says "Supply" and below that another one that says "Recond" Neither Supply or Recond is lit though. Is the green dot suppose to go to "Supply" once it's charged or will it remain on the 4th stage with the picture of a full battery if it's charged? It's been on the charger now for the past 3 hours and the green dot is on the 4th stage with a voltage of 13.5 with the charger connected.

You can get a DMM for ~15.00 Quote DC Audio - Singer Alternators - Knukonceptz - XS Power - Hybrid Audio - Rockford Fosgate - Second Skin Audio - SMD - Sundown Audio - Elemental Designs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbox88 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 It sounds to me like your charger is working as it should, I would contact XS about how to test the battery to see if it is good or if the carrier decided to play soccer with your package.

I just went out and unplugged the charger. I'll check the voltage again in 1 hour and see if it goes down to 12.6.
