I just hooked up a 220D 2 bank on brand new Bats. The Bats checked at 12.7 volts when i put them in. When I plugged charger in The yellow lights came on for a few minutes,. then went to flashing yellow they been flashing for 5 hrs. How long does it take to turn green.
These were almost fully charged new Bats. Its a 10 amp per bank charger How long would it take on discharged bats? I would think if they had 12.6 volts when put in it shouldnt take more than an hour or two
I just unplugged the charger and the voltage settled at 13.4 so it took 5 hrs.to bring them up 0.7 volts. This dont seem right.
I have the came charger (MK330). It is a multistage charger. Don't believe it charges continuously at 10 amp. I never noticed mine flashing though. How you open those yellow fuse holders? I can't get mine open.Quote:

The flashing yellow light means a bad connection or bad battery. I would use the batteries then try the charger again. If it still does it give MK a call. 800-227-6433
CP mine doesnt have them holders . But I think I know what you mean, its about 1/2 in. in dia. about 1 1/2 long. They just pull apart and snap together.
BB they are both brand new bats. A steady yellow comes on first till 75% charge then drops voltage Flashing yellow for rest of charge. Then flashing green.when fully charged
Finally turned green after 7 hr. I think this is a long time on fully charged Bats. Any one else have one that can confirm?
The flashing yellow indicated the charger was in the second stage, known as absorption. This isn't a very fast mode and the current falls off rapidly, so I wouldn't be surprised that it took a while.
What kind of batteries are they?
