RE: (ET) batteries charger



It's low.  Check for a leaky or wrong cap.  44-46+V is normal AFTER several hours on a good battery pack.  Initially, it is governed by the load (current limited), but should rise.  If you only go to 40.5 V, you have about a 3/4 charge.

My charger puts out 40.5 V.  Is this normal?
 
 It depends on the state of charge. If this is open circuit charger output, it is too low.
 
Trojan pack at 36 V is to equalize at 46.5 V.  Is my charger faulty?
 
 It likely is . The prime suspect would be the capacitor, and its associated wiring.
 
See pages 1-16 through 1-20 of the Homeowner's Service Manual for the most concise diagnostics. Follow them to the letter.
