Re: (ET) chargers

Ok, I am officially in the deep end of the pool and I don't swim well.....

While installling my Alltrax, I checked my charger out put...with no 
bateries connected... and it read 19.2 volts.  I connected it back up and 
turned it on, now the reading is 37.2 volts. After 10 hrs of charging it 
read 42.5 volts and immediatly after turning it off, batteries read 40.2 
volts.
Do I have a problem?????
thanks
