The AquaCharge battery might discharge while sitting in stock at the factory or our warehouse. If the battery discharges to below 6.5 amps the charger light will not turn on. When the charger light is not on, if the pump is set on the charger the light will turn on when the charge reaches 6.5 amps. This condition might give the impression that the battery is fully charged when it actually isn’t. Batteries that have discharged to below 6.5 amps should be charged overnight (manual says 12 hours for initial charge)
