I was charging my new set of US-125's after the second break-in run (2.5 miles), and like the first and second charge, it isn't coming up to the voltage recommended by the manufacturers. As you know, the USB recommendation is rather high. The typical recommendation (and that endore\sed by Trojan) is 2.4 vpc, USB's is 2.583.
So correcting for temperature, for a 114V nominal pack, I should see 136.8 (based on 2.4 vpc)to 147.2 (based on 2.583 vpc) volts at 80 degrees. It made it to 138, and I caught a whiff of sulfur at that point, so I stopped. Am I bordering on cooking them? The current was never more than 10A, and was around 5 when I quit. If this is an indication of overcharging, I need to revise my list of voltages down, but how far? I need to make sure I have this nailed before I try to go any great distances. Oh, and as far as that addition to my other post (from work - had a breaktime brainstorm), that someone asked about, it is added automatically when I send from work. I try not to do that too often. Sorry. But since it was addressed to the list, technically, anyone on the list is the intended recipient.
