(ET) re: charger help

[Anthony Bailey <a636ccr semovm semo edu>]

Hello All, I installed the new capacitor in my charger last night and 
then re-installed the charger, seems to work pretty good. The output 
voltage (measured at the batteries) started off a little lower than 
expected ~38VDC. But after charging all night the output voltage is 
~40 - 41VDC. And the timer even works now.
Thanks again for all your help, Tony
