New C7 questions
I only have 200 m iles on my new baby and have a couple of questions.
1. Am in Pacific NW and 1st time out water temp is right @ 220 by the guage. It seems too warm as mt C6 would have been @ appox 185-190. Is 220 excessive?
2. I have the batt. protection pkg and over the 1st 2 nights I could see the unit "pulsing" and had a maint. led illuminated. Now I only see a green LED for pwr on. Is that normal? I don't see an output from the unit with a VOM and wonder if the CTEK unit may be defective.
For those who choose to respond, I thank you in advance.

2. That is how the Ctek operates. Once it senses proper voltage and no corresponding drop when the charger cycles off, it will show the green LED. If I understand your question right that is.
If you are saying ONLY the LED above the type of battery is on with no corresponding Green LED on indicating full charge has been attained, then there may be a problem. But all this is based on my CTEK 3300 which is about 4-5 years old at this point.
Hope this makes sense.

2) Likewise, there have been a TON of threads about the maintenance chargers and what you're seeing is perfectly normal as well. It means the battery is fully "up"
