Berto Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 I don't think it would be safe to run 12volt batts that high. You need 14volt batts.

Berto Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 theres alot of peeps on here doin it even said on the battery 14.6 max charge That's still .4volts under what you're trying to do. And I didn't say you can't do it, I said it wouldn't be safe to do it. But as TeamHT said, Who are a lot of people? Do you have links to any build logs that shows that?

Guest DC Power Kyle Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 I charge my XS Power D2400 and D2700 battery at 15.1 daily for over a year with no problems. I think meade has his at 15.5? or 15.6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMI CUSTOMS Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 (edited) So you guys that charge these at 15+ volts for several hours like turning you d3100 into a d3400 or smaller, because you are aware you are forcing the gas out of the battery. Have fun replacing batteries every couple of years.

corteznewbie Posted October 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 glass matt batteries dont emit gases Quote Team DBs (Driven By sound) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMI CUSTOMS Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 (edited) Perhaps you should do a little research then because you are wrong. Here I will help you out, this is one of Optima's disclaimers all there batts are AGM's, XS power has a similar disclaimer but I can't find it anywhere Always use a voltage regulated battery charger with limits set to the above ratings. Overcharging can cause the safety valves to open and battery gases to escape, causing premature end of life. These gases are flammable! You cannot replace water in sealed batteries that have been overcharged. Any battery that becomes very hot while charging should be disconnected immediately. You can also run into the battery expanding or bulging out due to excessive overcharging due to the extreme heat that is created from prolonged overcharging.
