8v Delphi batteries in the Ford Ranger.



Does anyone know the charging voltage, method or any other specs. on the
charger used for the Ford Ranger with the 8v Delphis?(did they use
regulators)  Anybody able to figure it out from this data the true charging
voltage?  Any techs. out there that know?  Anybody know the manufacturer
recommended charging voltage per battery.    I get differing information
from real world experience and  what Olaf told me when I bought them.
Michael Bearden seemed to have good luck with them.  He charged at 10.1.  I
charged at 9.6 and didn't do so well.  Suggests that I under charged them.
