Torqeedo battery slow charge

[billyfish]

My torqeedo battery has been on charge for 2 days it was at 30% and now at 60% I'm sure it was quicker last year. It was in a slight flood in the shed through the winter but they are waterproof, right, any ideas ? it is looking like it's working correctly

Waterproof, maybe not watertight Are you using the correct charger? Seems a long time to be on charge, I don't know the battery but it just seems a long time to be charging. I would have thought somewhere around 12 - 16 Hrs to charge from flat. Perhaps less depending on which charger you are using. If you are using the correct Charger I would say it is knackered.

Sounds like it’s lost a cell , I have not looked in a Torq battery apart but you can pull bits and measure battery voltages . On the other hand have you tried it on another socket or do you know anyone who you could try on their charger. You could also run your engine in a tub let go flat then recharge, don’t run it out of water. Where are you based.

The battery was at 100%then run down to 30. I've just found the leed to connect to 12 volt . Going to try that

I would say water resistant. Was the charger also in the flooded shed ?

The trouble is we once again don't know very much about this. Where is he charging it, what charger is he using, is he using a mains charger or charging from another battery etc.? He now says he has found a 12 volt lead?, If he is charging from another battery, what state is that in? He now also says that the battery was 100% and was run down to 30%? more questions than answers Methinks

Using mains charger that came with it. Going to stick it in the car tomorrow see if it charges with that I think the charger is knackered
