new battery, charging correctly?
I am preparing to pick up my new SLX195RB next Monday and purchased an Excide Group 27 105 amp deep discharge battery. When I put it on my smart charger that I have used to charge up some old cars before I tried charging at 2 amps for about 24 hours. It is barely up to half charge and showed dead when I picked it up.
Did I buy a DOA battery or is this normal. I can switch to 4, 6 or 10 amps but read 2 amps was the best way to go.
I did check and acid levels are at max.
Should I keep or return the battery? I have purchased car batteries and deep cycle batteries before and never had this happen before.
PS anyone know where I can mount a TV? There was no sticker on my SLX195RB.
