Tim, Remember a "12V" battery is actually 6 2.2V cells in series, so the actual open circuit voltage of a fully-charged lead-acid battery is about 13.2V. While being charged, the voltage can reach as high as 14.5V, depending on the charger.
So, bottom line is that while the charger is on, the voltage will be at or near the recommended 13.8V. Once the charger is removed, the voltage will drop rapidly to 13.2V then slowly fall from there. 73, Ray, K9DUR http://k9dur.info _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
