THAT SUCKS! :mad: Time to get a digital voltage meter, I never trust my batteries or charger. Terrible way to start a new year.

Or a Voltwatch or similar onboard meter.

thats a bummer I usually install a Volt Watch in my planes they indicate if you have a charge or not and there cheap the ones I use work for 4.5 and 6V battery's a couple of examples I just used double sided foam tape to place them in the cockpit area so I can take a peak when needed
