Lou Earle Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 I put a trickle 2 mp fully automatic battery charger on my 47 battery(Tim-solved the missing battery plugs- found an old battery - outside the parts store very early this am). and it registered fully charged. I was suspicious- so I put the regular 6 volt 6 amp charger and it said 50 o/o charged. And this is the same thing I encountered on my 4 door 48 cab with different chargers. My voltage regulators check out fine. What do you all think. Believe I just do not run them long enough to fully charge the batteries. But that does not explain why the trickle chargers bot said fully charged. I have found that a weak battery - OK to start engine but not peppy will show fully charged all the time on 2 amp but not so on 6 amp. Also I find it take s about overnight to get it fully charged. I can now listen to fan and tell you how it is charged. And I have found fully charged is a huge help in firing on first crank. Lou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
