How long to charge (1 Viewer)

[slobadoberbob]

My new (delivered yesterday) Elecsols are reading 12.40v and it says to charge before use to 12.80

I am using a 3.3 amp trickle charger and checking with my multimeter..

I could use the big charger that is 18 amps and has a boost to start a car.. but I did not want to fire large amount in tot he batteries.

But OK which do i use and if it is the first how long is it going to be before I can install them fully charged... there are two.

I have a sterling inverter / charger that will soon bring them up to the level.. but as I use a NASA BM1 I need to set that knowing I have a full charge in the batteries using the other areas it ask for to calculate the continue use..

At 3.3 amp per hr 24 hours should see one battery on full charge so two will take 48 hrs
Why not stick the big charger on @ 12 hrs each :thumb:
How big a charger is the van one?after all that will be doing the charging in future

Hi Bob, your Sterling unit will sort all that out for you, so simply install them and let the smart charger work it all out

Thanks Eddie, I was reading the warranty card before I sent it off.. and I did check the current charge state on them... just being careful.

Will do as you suggest and let the Sterling do the work.

Regards.. and thanks
