You might try the quick fix; disconnect the big electrolytic and tape over 
the wires that went to it, then try charging for a few hours.

Subject: (ET) Yep Dead Charger


While I was gone to get the hydrometer I again attempted to charge the 
pack.

6.2 to 6.35 on the batteries before I left. 6.0 to6.2 when I came back.

So my conclusion is that while the charger is making a nice hummmmmm it is
not making volts.

It is close to 90 degrees today so I am going to wait until it cools down 
this evening and swap the charger out of the E-15 and see if that is the 
problem.

I forgot to mention in my previous post that I also own a  Electric John
Deere riding mower that uses three 12 v deep cycle batteries. If worst 
comes
to worst does any one know if this charger has the capacity to handle the 
E-12 ? The look the same but I don't want to ruin either.

Thanks for the quick responses on my problem.

Marty
