I purchased two Li-Time 100ah "Trolling Motor" batteries. I noticed when charging them with a regular AC to DC shore power charger that they'd be putting in power at around 30 amps until they got to 13.9 volts. Then the amperage would instantly drop to zero and the voltage would read 14.4 (the output of the charger).
I've repeated this experiment multiple times, and with two different (both new) LiTime batteries.
To me, it looks like the over-voltage protection is kicking in rather early, so I'm guessing one or more cells isn't well balanced with the others and is triggering over-voltage protection.
I'm very disappointed and am in the process of returning the batteries.
