I am not convinced the batteries are fully charged. Did the charger hold 14.7+ volts until amps charging was less than one amp?
Have you verified full charge with a hydrometer?
Did you let them rest unconnected 48 hours and observe 12.7+ volts?
I agree the battery tender didnt get the flooded batteries fully charged. Was silly of me to say that its closer to expect 90%?
I want to say the watt meter read 12.61 today after resting 2 weeks. Hooked up 4amp for about 30 minutes. Batteries have rested an hour and are at 12.63v.
Maybe its normal to sag to 12.3v?
My fancy german hydrometer called them 1.285-12.280 brand new from the store. Which is higher than fully charged...?? It temp compensates. It worked good for repeating numbers. Accuracy i have no way to tell. I did not test them after the battery tender charge.
