[QUOTE="gnappi, post: 464187, member: 22374"] In the 70's I worked in a place where we designed and made battery chargers and everything you said is contrary to the "low and slow" method we recommended to our clients who often ignored our advice and melted our chargers and their expensive batteries. But your claiming that Interstate suggested high charge rates made me quote your comments to them and ask for clarification... FW: Web Form Request - Support Page Customer Service Togarynappi Apr 22 at 11:54 AM 5 attachments Thank you for contacting us. Our recommendation is to charge the batteries on the lowest possible setting for the slowest period. The maximum setting you can use is 10% of the amp hours of the battery. Without knowing the model of the battery, I could not speak specifically on the amp hours but our highest amp hour setting would be charged at 9.8 amps.
