We installed a 240ah new lead acid
battery today in our
boat.
We started
charging, once installed, with our generater through our
shore power charger unit.
The initial charge started at 32amps at 14.4V and eventually dropped to float after about 1.5 hour.
At the start we smelt a sulphur smell and this continued until the
battery went to float.
There was no obvious signs of damage or temperature increase just the smell.
Is this normal?
