[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 372652, member: 7544"] 16v does seem a bit high. I can't say that I've seen it in print anywhere as to how high the max voltage of a charger should be but I was thinking around 14v. Contact the mfg like earl suggested and see what they have to say. If you can remove the cell caps on your battery, you might also want to keep an eye on the acid levels for a while. One thing that will certainly happen if it is overcharging, the acid levels in all cells will start to drop. [/QUOTE]
