I have a 12 volt lead acid battery which I use on my golf trolley. On the side of the battery it states :Standby use 13.5 - 13.8 (20 degrees) and cycle use 14.4 - 14.9 (20 degrees).
When in cyclic use and I charge the battery my charger light indicates the battery is fully charged but when I check the voltage it shows a maximum of only 13.7 volts and quickly reduces to about 13.4. Am I right in thinking that the battery should show a voltage of between 14.4 - 14.9 when fully charged.
The battery is relatively new.
Any advice would be most welcome
