I'm up to 75% charging and changed the fuse back to 3amp.....no issues. Thanks for the information, need to make sure I don't drain the battery.

I'm interested in knowing how long it took to go from 0-75%,0-100%, and the rating of your battery.

0-75% - approximately 60minutes
0-100% - still waiting

Battery: 12v 10aph

Charging it using this charger
Settings:
12v
6A

I have the same charger. I would suggest using the 2A setting and leaving it overnight. Even for a depleted battery it should take a little more than 5 hours accounting for the CV portion of the charge cycle.

C/1.7 is really too high of a charge rate for a battery like that. 6A is their suggestion for truck batteries. The size we're using are what's common in ATVs and jetskis or in the case of the charger I think they use motorcycle or lawnmower as an example for the 2A setting.

Some electrician explained it to me before...

I forgot the details but basically keep your charger at 2A and you get the best charge.

I have that same charger and found an overnight at 2A is the goods.

In other words your 75% of the S1 cycle must exceed the 100% of the S. 2 portion of the process....but only if the 10amp fuse was made using a 6 element alloy.

Pm me with additional questions.
