[QUOTE="robertark, post: 6828883, member: 621407"] Hey guys, I'm charging my new Kinetik HC1800. I just got it in today and didn't seem like it had a charge on it (bought an AGM charger as well: [URL="http://store.schumachermart.com/sc-600a.html"]SC-600A - 6/4/2 Amp Charger/Maintainer[/URL] ) -- when I hooked it up to the charger, it showed 0%, and charging. It's been on it now for a few hours @ 4amp and finally hit ~50%. Assuming that's inaccurate anyways. So, after reading around, it seems like the Kinetiks should be shipped nearly fully charged. Is this correct? If so, then why was mine dead? It was purchased from Sonix. Also, I bumped up the amperage to 6amps, should I just leave it there or bump it back down to 4?

I'll be grabbing a voltmeter tomorrow to check voltages. Maybe I should just unhook this from the charger, or doesn't matter? Let me know, thanks! [/QUOTE]
