RE: (ET) charger voltage

["Elie, Larry (L.D.)" <lelie ford com>]

Blu, 39.5V at the end of a charge is NOT sufficient.  It isn't even to the 
'charge' portion of the 'fuel meter'.  If after perhaps 12 hours of 
charging you are still at 39.5V with the charger on, it is likely you have 
a leaky electrolytic capacitor on the charger.  We discussed this at 
length some months ago.  At the end of the charge with a GE charger you 
should be somewhere in the 42 to 45V range with the charger on, which will 
be in the middle of the 'charge' portion of the 'fuel meter'.  The voltage 
will drop some several hours after charging.  If at the end of the charge 
you are at 39.5V, you probably are about 25% charged.
