Answer 5

You cant use a amp meter to measure the charge left on a battery. It can be quite inaccurate. Or perhaps you didnt use your OB very long and the charge was still pretty full. No matter, just put it on the deep cycle battery chargers and let it trickle charge. It is good to maintain deep cycle batteries in a charged state.

Do take it off the charger after 6hrs, so that the battery will not be overcharged too much.

Answer 6

Sound like your charge has issues>Or dosen't like to charge D cycle>
