Hi All, So, in my never-ending upgrade spree of my vanagon I've come across a UPS with 8 of these batteries in series: It seems like the batteries might be dead and I'm thinking about charging them to see if they will hold a charge. I'm not sure how to go about charging them. Should I disconnect everything and charge one by one or can I charge in series? Anyone have any experience with this? They were hooked up to a UPS with a 240V 20A input so there's some electronics that reside before the 1st set of batteries. Can I just disconnect that and charge them with a 2A trickle charger? I'm googling while I write this but I figured some of you might know. TIA! Cheers, Harry |
