My 6 cells are peaking at 9volts. Is that ok or normal?
Yeah that's defiantly normal because you will fun that under load they drop down.
Yes, that's normal during charging. I have a 6 cell pack that regularly peaks around 9.2V while charging. As soon as the charge stops it comes back down to about 8.5V.
Thanks brett_saville and FairTax4me! I usually check the battery with a mulitmeter after charging. I just wanted to be sure I wasn't overcharging the batteries because I'm new at this. They seem to run really well and it's all the power I need for this parking lot.
