[QUOTE="Captain Ahab, post: 210766, member: 10"] You can overcharge a battery - does your charger have a "tender" feature which will shut off the charger once the battery is charged? If not, then you need to periodically check it. The slower you charge the battery the better the charge - so use the 2 amp setting and let it charge anywhere from 8-24 hrs checking it every few hours Once fully charged disconnect the charger and run your TM for a minute or two to get rid of 'surface charge" and then charge a little while longer until the battery is fully charged. This will add some life to the battery [/QUOTE]
