I have a Bosch 105AH battery, nearly 2 years old. Never had a split charge but i'm fitting one next week. I run a 100psi Shurflo that has a spring pump controller connected. If I press enter on the controller it gives me a battery reading. I've never really trusted it as I can turn the pump off and back on with a different reading.
Halfway through today I started to see a drop in pressure. Managed to struggle through one job with it saying BAT on the screen. I unplugged the terminals and reconnected them. At the next job it gave me virtually nothing through and the screen said 11.2 at one point and as low as 10.3 a couple of minutes later. I stopped and finished with the backpack. I assumed I had not charged it last night, just plugged it in and not turned it on (It was 3am when I remembered)
Got home and charged it and it reckons its fully charged in 3 hours on a slow charge. Plugged it into the van and the controller is reading 13.0 so I assume that's correct. Is there any coming back from that? The only other thing I can see is a loose wire on the connection which i'm about to change but I can't really afford to p1ss around tomorrow, got a massive office block on that's gonna take me 2 days.
