In Reply to: Battery Charge posted by Cedric on March 21, 2012 at 01:41:08:
A six volt battery, (lead antimony) which has been sitting for over 24 hours without charging should read 6.3 volts. The 7.2 voltage mentioned is the normal charging voltage of a fully charged battery. If you put it on a charger for any length of time you have to remove surface charge to check no load voltage. Usually this only takes about 15 seconds like with the lights on or putting a 50 amp load on for few seconds. A 6 volt with 6.2 volts is not fully charged. It is like a gallon can of water that is two cups low. Sure, if it only takes one cup to start your vehicle you are fine, but if it doesn't start right away and need 8 cups you are up a creek. You are two cups short. Next thing is, that part of the plate that is not charged begins to harden and if left that way for any length of time it will not take a charge .
