Re: Stus-List Battery Charger / ACR -- Some Details

Doug, If the battery charger has an Equalization Phase, then the charge voltage will be between 15-16 volts. This is something that should be done rarely (once every few months to once a year). Perhaps the the charger is defective, or possibly it gets confused if the charger is shut off

Re: Stus-List Battery Charger / ACR -- Some Details

To the best of my knowledge a 12v battery charger should not go over 14.6 or so. If it is goig to 15 to 16 volts I would be getting a new charger. A friend had this happen with a mastervolt unit and fried his house bank of 2 T105 6v. Doug Mountjoy SvPegasus LF38 #4 On Friday, November 11, 2016,

Re: Stus-List Battery Charger / ACR -- Some Details

The only single bank ProSport systems are 6amps. That is pretty small compared to the total capacity of your bank. ~1%. I can't explain it but maybe that's part of the problem. Sometimes certain switching power supplys need a load for them to work properly. A large enough bank and a small

Re: Stus-List Battery Charger / ACR -- Some Details

That's a single bank charger. So it's charging the house bank and the ACR is charging the start battery. That's a simple setup. Sounds like the charger is a bit wacko to me. Shouldn't run up the voltage like it's doing. Dennis C. On Fri, Nov 11, 2016 at 4:19 PM, Edd Schillay via CnC-List <

Re: Stus-List Battery Charger / ACR -- Some Details

Is it a two bank charger? If so, are both charging circuits connected to the batteries; one to the house bank and one to the start battery? If so, disconnect the one to the start battery and see how that works. Let the ACR charger the start bank. I think some chargers don't like to be wired to

Re: Stus-List Battery Charger / ACR -- Some Details

Ok. So you could also try using the charger on an independent battery. Carry one down to the boat (maybe a small U-1 tractor battery) or use your car. The idea is to eliminate variables. If it continues to overcharge without the ACR in the circuit then you know it's the charger. Maybe it is

Re: Stus-List Battery Charger / ACR -- Some Details

Sounds like a problem with the battery charger. I would disable the ACR (disconnect the sensing wire if possible) and try again. Are you reading the voltage at the battery terminals, onboard voltage meter, or on the charger? Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C 37+ Solomons, MD On Nov 11, 2016

OK — So here’s what happens. And this may be OK, but somehow it feels like it’s not — please let me know. I plug into shore power and turn on the battery charger. It’s a ProSport and it’s hooked up to the House Bank, a set of flooded batteries. Within a few moments, the voltage goes over 13
