I just finished making that same bank. It is reading 15.39 volts. Would I be ok to hook it up as is without charging? My alternator is set at 15.5 volts
@@guwop3310 the “correct” thing to do is slow charge it to match your cars voltage but being that close id just put it in. But still if you built one of these batteries then you NEED a charger like this period. It’s good to slow charge them up from time to time or if you left something on and drained it down then it needs to be slow charged back up. Quick charging with an alternator will damage the cells over time. My buddy just left his truck on and it dropped to 4.6 volts so I charged it back up with this at charger at 5 amps and it’s doing just fine.
