I have not cap checked the battery (no time recently), but it seems to be performing
fine. Need to construct "poor man's cap checker".
Topping off the battery recently, I monitored the voltage rise and sure enough,
the XC-10 crept up to over 15 v again and I shut it down.

Hi jonlaury
"monitored the voltage rise and sure enough, the XC-10 crept up to
over 15 v again and I shut it down."
Curious, did you ever check to make sure your volt meter is telling the
truth?

Good question!
Jon, if you find that this charger is indeed
'topping off' at over 15 volts, I'd like to
put my hands on it. I'd pay postage both ways
to run some tests on it here.
In the mean time, don't charge off and build the
'po boy's cap checker yet. I've got a new cap
checker module in development. I'm taking the
software requirements and development tools
to my byte thrashing guru in the morning.
In the mean time, let's see if we can figure
out what's up with the charger you have.
BTW . . . I pitched a Schumacher 2500 in the
trash yesterday. I've had it for 6-7 years.
I think it was working okay the last time I
had occasion to use it in Wichita . . . perhaps
4 years ago. Didn't work yesterday. Fooey . . .

Have you selected the sensor type as described in the D-180 Installation Guide
page 6-9?

Ron,
That would spoil my fun of spending a day hunting up parts to make something that
I don't need. :-)
Actually I have checked it against the ships volt meter. IIRC, that's how I noticed
the problem.

Happy to oblige. Do you think that you can tweak it so that it's useable again?
Got it from Walmart about 6 mos ago for $40. Don't know what Schumacher's warranty
is but my receipt has long since vanished and I doubt that Walmart will
take my word for it.

Let's see if it has forgotten how to sing and dance.
Walmart might surprise you . . . especially if you
want to exchange it.
