Thank you Johnny. Very good then, if the charger passes the procedure that you have outlined I will monitor the first charge every hour until I see the voltage start to approach the 42-44 and from then on every half hour.
I use a smart charger on my motorcycles during any time that they may sit more than 30 days, or when the temps drop significantly. All of my bikes have AGM batteries and that charger is made for that type of battery.
I've seen a couple smart chargers for the 36 volt system on the buggie, but their costs are very high.
Is there a product out there that will allow me to use the Powerwise charger for the bulk of the charging (after use) and then connect a maintainer type charger that will keep the batteries in top condition while it sits for periods of 10 days or more. Hopefully one that will not need a pint of blood to get.
