Status: offline 		I was just wondering what settings I should be using on my icharger 206B with my Hanger 9 12v 7Ah sealed battery? I set the charger for PB and when I plug in 12V it comes up as a 6 cell battery, which I guess it is then. Now for the charge rate, should I be using .70mAh or 7.0 or what? I charged it for about 45 minutes using .70mAh and it still seems almost dead. I don't know much about charging or batteries. Thanks.

You might have the peak detection set too sensitively- basically the charger prematurely detects a peak voltage and stops charging.

Try charging at 700mah for 10hrs or so, should get around 13-14v when fully charged I think!

Status: offline 		I just looked at the charger screen again and it is set at .70 A I thought it was mAh but it just says A for amps I guess. So should I set it at 7.0 A ?
