Status: offline 		I have two similar 6 cell Intellect 4200 Batteries. One them charges fine, the other one don't charge at the 3+ amp I set it for. It stays at .3-.5 amps, as if it was trickle charging. I tried the cycle mode to see if it would discharge normal, but it doesn't, it also only discharges at .3-.5 amps.
The I test it with a basic peak charger, and it charges fine. I even ran my truck with it for about 30 min. with no issues. What could be the problem? I have other 7 cell and one 8 cell battery and this is the only one that gives me that problem. Could it be the battery memory?

2 questions come to mind.

Are you poweering up the charger before hooking battery?
WHAT is the voltage doing during the charge? (on the problem battery)
