Glad to hear you got it taken care of.

FWIW, I've bought almost all of my batteries at WM and never had a problem with them.

Here are the voltages and state of charge numbers

12.6 volts = 100% charge
12.4 volts = 75% charge
12.2 volts = 50% charge
12.0 volts = 25% charge
11.8 volts = 0% charge

As you can see a small voltage change can mean the difference between a live or dead battery.

I buy and sell batteries everyday so I have a lot of information at my fingertips.

Better tell them what temperature these numbers are for. :rtm:

The manual I have shows these numbers based on 80* and the related charge times to bring a battery up to full charge.

It does have a disclaimer that states "Charging time depends upon battery capacity, condition, age, temperature and efficiency of the charger".
