Have a question for the SLA gurus. I purchased used two 6V Ecocharge systems for a very good price; one 7.2AHr and one 4.0AHr SLA's in perfect working order and two Ecocharge SC-61 chargers. I also have this 12AHr SLA that came with a trickle charger, however I made a converter cable that will allow the SC-61 charger to mate with the 12AHr SLA so I could use the better charger. Upon testing if the SC-61 would charge this SLA I was surprised after about 3hrs of charge time that I could hear the SLA "bubbling" ....so I shut it down. Whats up with that?? Its a 6V charger with a smart function (goes from rapid charge to trickle when it is full). Why would the SC-61 charger cause the 12AHr SLA to bubble? Is that normal? I put a VOM on the SLA before I put it on charge and it was rather low (5.86V) but was a new SLA as of this summer 03' Any ideas?? Should I stick with using the trickle charger it came with? Shouldn't matter should it?? Why would the other lower AHr SLA's take the SC-61 rapid charge and not the 12AHr SLA??
Thanks,
LoS
