Speak to battery master about the chargers as both the chargers that came with my batteries the chargers have indicator lights on the black box red when charging and goes green when charged

You'll love them Belch. As for the chargers, mine also came with an indicator so definitely worth a phone call/email to them.

That's a pretty quick turnaround, hopefully I should receive mine before the weekend if its as quick as that, I'm getting fed up of having to re-charge the AGM batterys after every session that were supplied by Nash with the barrow, they were not very good from the off a 4 to 500 meter trek would near flatten them and of late that was down to about 300 meters.

just ordered some over the phone theyve said that the chargers vary dependant on stock - Ive been using my RING Car charger before now as the Nash ones are rubbish but they must be lithium charger to work - anyway Ive ordered thanks for the heads up
@Belch I was told 3 hrs to charge or you can use a volt metre

Did call them and the response was 'when they are cool they are charged' . . . !
Might give them another bell - my chargers def have no LEDs . . . which is a little daft
Chargers are 3ah so 3hrs from empty makes sense - they said you can use a LifePo specific charger as long as its not bigger than 12V 10ah . . .this would effectively half the recharge time but obvs you'd being doing one at a time so no real time saving!

Mine turned up yesterday afternoon, no LED on the chargers just put them on at 4.30 and by 7.30 the charge controller was cool again tested the batteries and they were reading 14.1V.

mine arrived yesterday and again no leds - put them on and 2 hours later they were cool - strange system but are we thinking if its not hot they are charged?

Personally I would NEVER ever leave anything on charge past its fully charge time if they were completely flat with that size charger 3 hours will fully charge but realistically 2 hours will be enough 90% of the time

I rang 'em and they said those were the correct chargers supplied (non LED) at the time of ordering. Do agree its a bit noddy in terms of overcharging risk - a simple LED (like all the other chargers I have for baitboat/toslon etc) means they're unplugged when the light goes green - on this basis (and the instruction to store at 60% over elongated dormant periods) anyone got any advice on best chargers?
This one?

I had to send several snotty emails (after they tried to fob me off into buying / testing with a volt meter) and with some emotional support from Rob (!) they are collecting my chargers and replacing with LED variants.
*Note to anyone else buying these batts - ensure you get the 'correct' LED chargers prior to purchase to save any agg - otherwise they will claim you will only receive whatever stock they have available (probably a backlog of non-LED 3A/12V chargers!)
