Yes, yes, I mistyped and you already corrected that on the prev page.
I don't anything about the noco charger.. Do you have a link to a webpage
Our some more info we can use to search for info
Google Noco gen3
I remember something about use ? You said 20 amps at 24v when running..
Well that's 20 amps is in a series circuit flowing thru both batteries
If you have 2 hrs total intermittent run time, that 40 amp hours at 24v , 960 watt hours, 480watt hrs from each battery, aka 40amp hrs at 12v from each battery...Which is 50% of your battery capacity
3 hours of run time and your in serious depletion territory for the batteries that you are using..And they will die an early death regularly doing that
Its use is intermittent and ranges up to >100amps for brief times. 4-5 hours use brings batteries down to 12.3v or so (again, this varies). Below 12.0 the motor won't run, so no worries about going lower than that.
Recharging from 12.3v takes 4-5 hours on 20amps input (10 amps per battery max, automatic tapering). I charge until the charger shuts off and do not time it precisely.
It's the understanding of what is going on that you have to master
Putting back what you have removed needs to be exact and in the most balanced manner possible, if you want to keep those batteries alive and working
I got them used in 2008 and they still perform wonderfully. I am scrupulous ab0ut caring for them according to the information I have on what is good for them. And glad to learn more.
