<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> When I got this battery last wed it had 12.5
volts . I charged it for an hour one day at 2 amp then while cleaning the acid
leak another 2 hours. It read 12.57 volts . I have an metal timer wired to
a power strip and the charger plugs into that power strip.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> Some how Saturday when cleaning the floor pan
I switched off the power strip . I changed the timer to 1am to 2am charger on 2
amp since it's much cooler and I prefer charging at cooler temps . This morning
the battery read 12.54 volts , It started fine and I drove 4 miles with 4 starts
and it read 12.84 volts so some is surface charge . Saturday when I changed the
timer expecting higher batt voltage with the power strip switch off it
never charged have no idea how I turned off the switch . </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> The battery has a sticker which said 6/17
meaning the place that stocks the batteries charged it sometime in june .
Interstate says 12.5+ is not fully charged the fellow who charges them at the
dist said they charge 10 at a time @ 2 amp for 12 hours. and that 12.5 and above
is charged . </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> Now I'll see what it does in a few days with
the power strip on so it actually charges. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> Makes me wonder if the sticker means anything
, who kows if this battery got charged or was assumed and a sticker put on it.
The first MT-42 I got had no sticker and read 12.35 volts and it took at least 5
days 2 hours a day to bring it up to 12.7. second leaking MT-42 had a sticker
and read 12.61 and charged at 2 amp for 3 hours surface charge gone read 12.74
volts. I know heat can discharge a battery yet it was close to this hot when I
got the first 2 MT-42's . It's 95 in the garage in the car near the battery.

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> I just hope this new on does not leak so far
it does not and it get's up to at least 12.6 volts. I think it will
