Greetings, I just bought one of these and I would like to know the mnfr-recommended charging voltage. I can't find it on their web site. Anybody know what it is?
If it's one of those AGMs that wants 15+ volts, then I need a new AMG BatteryMinder. But some AGMs just want the 14+ charging voltage, and I could keep using my regular BatteryMinder.
Owners manual ?
It seems it really isn't listed anywhere. I'd think it will accept the usual lead-acid charge voltage range, otherwise people would be screaming about all the dead Shuriken batteries by now. AFAIK most AGMs also accept the usual charge voltage range.
I used the same one in the Forte for 3 seasons. Topped off during hte winter with my normal battery charger set at 2A. IT still has a charge, but isn't enough to start 2.4L of high copression awesomeness below 60*F
EDIT: The Forte tops out at 14.6V so I'd say you are perfectly fine.
Awesomeness. Thanks. If I wind up killing it early in a year or something, I'll come back and update.
What are you stuffing it into? I never had any problem with starting, running, running the AC/stereo etc. IMO it's a great value.
That's an odd looking terminal. How did you attach your battery cables?
^That's a common terminal used on small 12v batteries used on UPSes, security systems, electric wheelchairs etc. It wouldn't be rocket science to make a terminal adapter, I'm more worried about how those terminals would handle the kind of current a car could draw, especially when starting.
It looks like all the SK-BT20s have a bolt-type or post-type terminal though.

Correct.
That was mine. I bought a pair of hte top post adapters.
