Directed to Partsmore. Got back to the track on Oct. 13th. Found out at 10:30 am at work that I could leave at noon. Ran home and decided to install the Vbattery. I had not had it on the charger recently. I had time when I arrived at the track to charge for an hour and fifteen minutes. It did not reach full charge at that time or any time during the evening. I charged between every run figuring I would eventually get a full charge. When I returned home I placed the battery on the charger for the remainder of the night. Checking on the battery at approximately 10:00 am, I found the red light flashing on the charger indicating that the battery had been on the charger more than 8 hours without fully charging. I disconnected the charger.
The next weekend, the 20th, I knew I could go to the track when I left work on Friday. I put the charger back on for the night to come out Sat. morning to find the green light on indicating a fully charged battery. At the track I made 2 passes and put the charger on. The green light was flashing indicating that charge was being taken. I expected the battery to charge fully but it never did. I kept putting the charger on between passes. I would shut off the main power switch when ever possible. I bought this to reduce the time on the charger but so far I haven't realised much difference. I am considering the purchase of a 16 volt alternator but don't know what voltage it will charge at and how it will effect the electronic equipment. Am I expecting to much from my 16volt Vbattery ?
Thank You Brian
