    f03 means internal open cell in the battery but since its doing it on 3 different batteries I would guess a bad charger. http://www.blackanddecker.com/CustomerCenter/FAQ.aspx

    That charger has a full 2 yr. warranty. If it's less than 2 years old I'd send it back.

    I talked to the Interstate guy that delivers auto batteries to our shop about "reconditioned" batteries. He said all they do is clean them, add electrolite to low cells and charges them ovenight. Then if they test good, they are sold as reconditioned. All reconditioned batteries are used batts that failed for someone else. I did the same thing with my deepcycle in our camper and are stiill useing it.
