P4killer_ Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 So im gonna do some clamp test tom for the fun of it, and I was thinking the bats should be topped off before hand I have an Exide stand up battery charger the options are 1a off 2a trickle charge 10a fast charge 300a engine start the little display in an analog guage thats display amperage output it isnt one of the sweeter ones that has the lcd readout, on where v sits on the bats being charged. So i had em on charge for a lil while i was doing some stuff in the back yard, and while trickle is well.. trickle id have to leave them overnight or something, the second option is 10a and using my dmm i just plugged the leads into the wire coming off the buss bar to see where the voltage sits anyway at 10a its charging at ~15.2v i was wondering, isnt that a tad bit high for 12v bats? and how long/ how to test when the bats are topped off as over charging isnt good i wish i had the sweet model with the lcd readout like my dude anyway thanks P4Killer Setup: 2010 Hyundai Elantra Factory Unit via 4 chan NVX LOC Excessive Amperage "H/O" Alt Xs D3400/ Xs XP3000 Big 3. 2 Runs of +, 2 Runs of - DD M3b and 2 12" AQ HDC4s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundzright Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Make sure the charger can charge the types of batteries you have safely. AGM and Gel have their own modes for charging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
