Vexilar Battery Life?

[kingkidfisher4431]

When charging my vexilar it wont show the red finish light when i charge my battery, can someone give me a simple answer where i dont have to ask question to company because im going out tommmorow???

Light will go out when connections are made and come back on when battery charging is complete.

thanks but i knew that the light comes on when its done charging but it wont come on at all even after 3 hours of charging and the indicator is at 75-80%, so whats up?

[fishingbuddy]

Mine comes on after about 6 hours

I usually use the ratio of 1hr burn time to 1 1/12 hr charge

One hr . burn to one and a half hr. charge

If you have a digital volt meter, put it on the battery while charging. Should read about 14.5 volts when the battery is fully charged. Don't leave the charger on after it hits that voltage because it is hard on the battery.

Another thing to mention is that the battery charge indicators that Vexilar uses are not terribly accurate. It is possible that the last LED is not going to come on until the battery reaches a voltage that the charger may never reach. In other words, the last LED may be calibrated to come on at 15 volts and the charger can’t get there or the indicator is properly calibrated to about 14.5 but the charger does not have enough oomph to get even that high. As I mentioned in my last post, the only way to accurately tell if the battery is charged is to use a digital volt meter.

Is this a new set up? If it is I would take it back and get one that works right. If the battery is several years old it might be time for a new one.

If I understand the vex. instructions correctly, the battery is fully charged when the charger led light comes on.

If I use the flasher for any length of time I leave the charger on all night. I have a battery that is 3 years old and the little trickle chargers that come with the battery has never hurt any of my batteries. I have left the charger on for 2 or 3 days with no ill effects that I have noticed.
