Re: new batteries not reaching full charge
Trojan Battery not only makes the best GC battery but like another industry leader (Alltrax) they have the best tech support ever, not coincidental, I'm sure.
Stacey tells me 2.7vpc is their recommendation for an equalization charge and that applies for all batteries regardless of 6,8 or 12 volts. Specifically the 2800 Lester with it's 2.67vpc is within the safe range.
So I ask the question for you;
Is it safe to use the 2.67vpc (64v) finish voltage for every charge cycle?
Her answer was yes so long as the batteries do not gas for more than 1 hour. Adding:
The current is very low when the voltage is high, so there really isn’t a lot of overcharge happening (at that high voltage) if you look at it in terms of amp hours ( 1 amp for 1 hour on charge = 1 amp hour).
I hope this helps
