Love the stench
A week or 2 ago I posted about long charge times with my PD4655 converter. Since then I not only upgraded my 6 gauge lead to 4 gauge but also piggy backed it with another piece of 2 gauge. I ran the b...

When charging batteries begin to smell like Yellowstone National Park, maybe it's time to downsize. 15.6 volts is a bit ripe. Too rich for top charging and too feeble for equalization. Remember the current limiting rules for both protocols. Or your battery dealer is going to be one happy camper.
Thanks Mex
The top voltage it hit was 15.53 and my sg is near 1.275. Its been in the 15's for about 2 hours total and its been tapering off. I didn't get enough data points to pin point how much time was spent at 15.53 but it wasn't real long.
The charge seems to be much more like the style that my boat with the 4 12 volts from sams club deep/marine batteries. Those are 7 years old and use a Lester industrial charger. I posted about them before and they hit 62 volts. 48 volt system so 15.5 per. All the multi battery type equipment I have worked on would obviously gas as it should and get whiffs of that smell. They aren't hot. Cant find my temp gun right now.
