I bought two of the 6 volt golf cart batteries from sams club. 225 amp hour.
I thought I checked the voltage when I brought them home a month ago. and it seemed normal.
I just installed them into the coach, along with my linklite battery moniter/shunt.
I was shocked to see, that the battery monitor was showing 16.6 volts.
I checked the batteries, and each one is giving out 8.3 volts. so when I put them in series, I am truely getting 16.6 volts.
It is pretty cold out. 0 to 20 degrees the last couple days.
is this normal for the new batteries? seem pretty high.
what voltages would I normally see.
The batteries have not been hooked to a charger.
just going to let them sit there for a while. and keep an eye on that.
