Photoz Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Well, I guess everybody will be dusting off their ice fishin' gear & gettin' ready for the hard water season. (IF we even get any hard water this year.) When I had my FL8 SE it seemed to hold a charge VERY well, put it away the end of March, fully charged, take it out & plug it in about mid-August . . then in December, still 80% up, even after 4 years? I bought the FL20 Ultra Pack last year, did a full charge on it about mid-April when I moth-balled it, then forgot all about it until today. I plugged it in, turned it on and it showed a 100% charge?? After sitting for 8 months, is THAT possible? When I plug into the wall, the green light on the charger comes on (like it should) then I plug red to red / black to black, and turn it on. IF it requires a charge, the charger light SHOULD turn to red, then green when it's fully charged. Mine STAYS green, and shows a 100% charge . . . . . just doesn't seem right somehow . . . anybody know if it's possible for a new Vex battery to stay fully charged for nearly 9 months? P. S. Anybody going for the FL20, say, from the FL8 SE, as awesome as the FL20 is, I ALMOST wish I'd stuck with the FL8 SE . . . my biggest complaint . . . too many numbers crowded into a small space . . . they're a real birch to see without puttin' my reading glasses on!! The FL8 SE is much better value for your money, unless you're into the super-deep water, after lakers & whities all the time! (Big Cliff, you did get a real bargoooooon . . . . wanna trade me for my FL20?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Was wondering where you were, Steve. Put a meter on the battery, Steve. It'll tell you what state the battery is in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
