Great tutorial Vince, once again I am doffing my cap at your knowledge. I would like some more advice if you can oblige. So I am.....well a Luddite (
) when it comes to electrics....sorry about that....so I went to start my new addition earlier(S2r 1000), and battery was low. Plugged in the optimate and we are showing 11.3 v ,89amp. I let it do its thing for an hour then hey presto we are back in the game.
With the engine running we are now showing 14 v( I think this indicates alternator is doing its bit ).......engine off and we are showing 12 v.an hour later 12.1v.
So here are the questions, if it's a 12 v battery,with the engine off it will never be more than 12 v will it as that's the capacity of the battery????
If the answer to above is , correct it will max out at 12 v, then why is the optimate charge indicator still showing "low".
Please give your answers at "thicko" level
