Haha!! That's why I read it Packard0 . . . a good way of getting responses.I was wondering just how you were carving it.

My old lead-acid charger has LED indicators (Red-Yellow -Orange-Green) so similar setup, but I don't know how they'd equate them to percentages . . .probably as voltages. 6V or less might mean 25%, 6.3V maybe is 50%, 6.5V perhaps 75% etc. If yours has a meter with percentages then it will need to be based on a range but the lower limit could be anywhere between zero volts (- a totally ruined battery I would think) and say, 5.5V which is still a quite low reading for a 6V battery. All my experience has been with 12V batteries and a voltage below 11.5v is very low charge compared to 12.7 or higher as it should be.
