[Elecraft] [OT] Lead-acid battery question

2013-04-08 Thread Vic K2VCO
replaced it. Yesterday the generator would not start. The battery voltage with no load was 11.5V. I left it on the charger all day. Then this morning I checked the voltage and it was 13.5V. The generator started up and the charging voltage was 14.5V. Do I have a bad battery? -- Vic, K2VCO
