Can I charge 60v SLA with a 72v charger?

[LarryHoova]

Hi everyone,

I noticed my 60v charger stops charging at a certain point but it looks like some batteries could use more charge.

I have a 72v charger. When i connect it, it appears to be chargin - is it ok to do this? Will it attempt to charge the 60v to 72+?

Can I just keep it on for a while? When will it shut off?

NO. It would be a good way to make an sla explode.

Sure you can charge a 60V sla pack with a 72V charger. You can also over charge it, so make sure you don't. IOW's, make sure you remove the charger when your pack hits ~68V.And that assumes all your batteries are good.
