[QUOTE="Hanr3, post: 136791, member: 1055"] What kind of charger do you have? Some chargers wont stop charging once the battery is completely charged, they continue to charge and will in fact ruin the battery. The battery starts to lose its charge and gets warm, it will continue to lose charge until you remove the charger. At this point more than likely your battery is toast and you have fried at least one of the cells. I highly recommend you research your particular battery charger. Find the model number and google it. I toasted a couple lawn mower batties and one truck battery before I discovered the error of my ways. I spent the money on a new Schumacher Ship/Shore charger. It will charge small batteries, medium, and large batteries. Will switch from charge mode to trickle whent eh battery reaches 100%. I bought mine on sale for $30. I think regular price is $60. Well wortht eh money compared to three new batteries. I have been using it for over a year now, I charge 4 batteries on a regular basis (deeps cycle, 2 mower, and a truck battery), no problems since I bought it. [/QUOTE]
