XS Power

charging question 12 volt batts


Recommended Posts

i have a XSpower D3100 and a D3400

my battery charger has a 2 amp trickle charge and a 10 amp fast charge

should i use the 10 amp setting the get them fully charged?

i think i saw somewhere that 2 amp mode would take a very long time to fully charge a xs battery

10am would be best. Depending on how low the batteries are the 2 amp could take you 6 months.

well the batteries are brand new never been installed just wanted to give em a over night charge first

but i had it hooked up on 10 amp mode and i put my stinger volt meter on it and while it was chargin it got in the 15 volt area but when i took it off it went back down to the 13 volt area

is it ok for the battery to be in the 15 volt area while it is on the charger?

Max voltage you would want to see while charging is 14.9v.
