Stooopid battery charging question...
« on: August 14, 2009, 04:34:51 PM »
I've got a Harbor Freight battery charger... Set to 12v/2a, with the battery installed, and the charger connected... I get a voltage of 13.5v, when I measured.

Similarly, when I put my HF float charger on, I get a measurement of 12.5v.

Don't I need to get to 14.5v to charged the battery fully?

Battery, I bought about 3 week ago (walmart brand).

Can someone clarify this for me?

Thanks.

Batteries charge like water flows downhill.  If your charger input voltage exceeds the voltage of the battery it will charge.
