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
Good to know. Thanks for taking the time to research it. My Lester Links charger is taking my T 875's to 65plus volts also. Charger and batt's are new
