Title: Oades BP 7.2 Battery question
Post by: Mojowill on July 14, 2004, 07:52:59 PM

I ran my Oades pack for a good long time at All good and I am charging it up right now, but it has been on the charger for almost 15 hours and the light is still on full.  How long does this thing take to charge?  I ran it for 16 shows (between 1 hr and 2 hr shows)

I don't know the current draw of your equipment. But being you ran it for what sounds to be 16-18+ hours I would imagine it has been deep discharged and is probably going to take a long time to charge. 15+ hours doesn't sound excessive.

FWIW, it's not a good idea to deep discharge a SLA like that. It greatly compromises your battery's lifespan.

What kind of gear were you using?
