RE: (ET) charger info

[Larry Elie <lelie ford com>]

Two schools of thought on this one.  One is, unless you expect to do a so 
much work 
on the next charge that you absolutely NEED a full charge, don't bother.  
There are 
problems with partial recharge, and a 'memory effect' which some people 
claim doesn't 
exist, and other think is a major problem.  The other school of thought 
is; charge the 
puppy for roughly twice the time you had the mower in use.  In your case, 
an hour 
would probably be fine, or until the batteries are balanced as measured by 
a DVM.

Morning all, got a quick question for you all. Say I use my tractor 
for 30 minutes or so, to move something, mow a small patch, etc... 
How would I know where to set the charger at to recharge my 
batteries, rather than just guessing at the amount of discharge and 
setting it at "A-I"?

Also got my reverse going over the weekend, it was a hidden 
disconnected wire on the reverse relay, works just like its supposed 
to..more or less..
Thanks, Tony
