Simon. That doesn't really put it into perspective as you need to take into account the charge in the battery.
Your smart charger is applying 13.71 volts because it senses that is all the battery needs to maintain its condition.
If your sensor in your charger detects a low voltage in a battery it's charging it will increase the rate of charge to a higher but safe level.--- ---A level ,that I said in a previous post, that will not OVERHEAT the batteries electrolyte. |
