- Now back in Scotland . Boat for sale
My boat has a 24V system and has been laid up for about a year. The batteries are not in top condition but are still useable after charging with shorepower.
When I charge them with the engine, the charging voltage starts at 27.5V and then slowly increases to 31V over a few minutes. I haven't waited to see if it comes down again in case I cook the batteries and get an explosion.
Any previous experience or bright ideas out there ? Thanks.
