I have a 2000 GEM with the Delta-Q charger That is currently set to profile #14. I have installed new Duracell SLI31MDC batteries and need to change the profile. Having read the instructions and watched the video to change the profile I have two questions:
What profile should I use? #13 for Trojan or #32 for DEKA batteries.
What connection should I disconnect to change the program? Do they want the positive connection on the charger removed or can I just use one of the connections at one of the batteries?
From a thread earlier:
Algorithm 32 is for 105ah wet cell batteries specifically for Deka DC31DT also rebranded as Duracell SLI31MDC, O’reily’s SuperStart 31DCM, and NAPA Batteries BAT 8231.
Thank you.
I was going to use profile #32.
Which battery is #6?
I did try this with the battery up front and got a good spark when I touched it, so I didn’t try it again.
I have tried to change the profile per the instruction’s given here and the ones published by Delta-Q on their website. I have had no luck.
I talked to a repair person that has done work on this unit before for the previous owner. He said that I needed to replace the batteries with ones he sells for a cost of $2000. I don’t recall what brand he said to use.
I see no reason not to use the ones I purchased as profile #32 seems to be designed to charge the Duracell ones I have installed.
Is there someplace I can send the charger to have the profile changed?
What will happen if I continue to charge the batteries with profile #14? Will they be damaged by charging them by the GEL profile?
First make sure that you have at least 36v to fire up the charger. Remember there’s a discrepancy when cycling through algorithms from 3-5 seconds. I’ve seen DQ’s that had a seemingly longer count time that was frustrating to cycle through.
