Hi folks,
I've got two 12v deep cycle rv batteries I pulled out of the MH for the winter, currently sitting in my basement. I'm wondering if my battery charger (a MAstercraft model from Canadian Tire) is charging them properly..... The charger has settings for regular and deep cycle batts, and 2A and 10A charging. The manual that came with the unit was sketchy on details at best (some English translation from Chinese, I think).
Anyway, I've tried both the 2A and 10A deep cycle settings, but the batteries do not seem to charge properly. The unit works just fine on either Amp setting with regular (starting) batteries - red light on when charging, green light when finished/maintaining). The unit does not seem to want to switch to the maintenance cycle (green light on) with the deep cycle batts.
My dilemma here is whether to replace the charger, the batteries or both!
Any advice?
