Gerry, what I have found is as it's bringing them up equal to the others, once they are above a certain charge then they never automatically turn back on to top off to the highest voltage. So I'll end with 1 fully charged and the other 2 at ~95%, just a guess. It's as if you used a battery doing some bench tests and only used it for a minute or two, then you have to turn it on when you put it on the charger,,,, same thing happens here. You think you have it full, but if you put it back on the charger and turn it on, you can get more in. Kinda hard to explain, but if you check every battery individually after charging on that strip I think you will see. It's pretty simple why it does this. On that strip, or the charger with 3 leads, it's just tying the legs of all batteries together so it has to bring them up one at a time or when the charge circuit turns on, the bus (strip) voltage may be lower than that particular battery. Putting some high amp diodes in place or a voltage/current limiter in line would make for a really nice charger, but would definitely increase the cost. |
