AAARRRGGGGHHHH :mad: You should NOT be using an actual trickle charger for anything. If it really is a smart tender type charger, you should NOT...
It is not "dubious" to anybody......or should not be. Given that most "rebuilders" only replace the cells that are VERY weak or have completely...
Have you fully charged it......either before or after installation ? That is an important step.
You do know that fully charged it should read about 12.8........and that 12.0 is half dead........right ?? When looking only at resting voltage,...
So.....what exactly makes YOU such an expert ? Hint: Nothing.
Well that's just about the last straw. Along with the other annoying changes made recently to inflate the "click count", this forum is more...
I have been an Electronics Engineering Technician for a bit over 50 years. I KNOW how things work. And have seen many "very simple" things go up...
Totally unnecessary. And maybe counter-productive. Do you have a voltmeter ? No self respecting CB'er would be without one. KNJ 2919.....1965. :)

Well.....it's nothing compared to being hit by a semi on the freeway either. I don't see how those two things are related......and how you think...
No it doesn't......if you are talking about the hybrid battery. It is the 12 V that has additional drain, NOT the HV one.
Causing the battery to be CONSTANTLY charged at 14.4 volts is NOT a good thing to do. That is a throw-back to the days of mechanical voltage...
The scratches would have to be VERY bad for me to worry about it on a 20 year old car. Consult a body shop or two and ask who in the area "fixes"...
Thread is a bit over 3 years old. OP has logged on recently.......but has not seen fit to update this thread. :(
And if he is interested in it at all......probably should contact Bluedriver for an owners manual. To do that, the model and serial number might...
I think you understand it perfectly. I think that CHG mode is only useful in a VERY limited number of situations. I have often wondered why it is...
