I was unaware that US Batteries required a higher SOC nor was I aware that I could change the settings on my charger. I thought that the on board computer controlled the SOC. If there are adjustments that I need to make, please educate me. |

Re: Battery question again, mine are shot
After doing a site specific search on US batteries, it appears that I need a DPI charger to get the US batteries up to full charge.
Assuming that my Power Drive 3 charger will not accomplish this, which DPI charger do you guys recommend? |

Re: Battery question again, mine are shot
Using a PD3 charger there are no settings to change. The OBC controls charging current and there's no way to change what that does.
A properly working OBC will still charge them just fine. |

Your Powerdrive will take the charge voltage as high as ~65-67 volts when topping off. Then ~12 hours later you will see the true "At Rest" voltage. |

Re: Battery question again, mine are shot
Thanks for the info guys. If I can get a correct charge with my PD 3 then I will leave well enough alone.
In my research on this site I ran across this chart for US batteries. It appears that full pack charge voltage for US batteries should be 51.3 V compared to Trojan at 50.9 V It was said the chart came from one of US Battery's gurus. |

Re: Battery question again, mine are shot
So roughly ~12 hours after the charge has completed that is what you should see. Now you will more than likely see them a little higher then that. Yawood has a set and a chart of records on how they have been doing. If he sees this, he may chime in with how his has been doing....
