As above its been on charge for 48 mins and only put 528 in ! Voltage reads 8.365 and charge rate is at 0.28 , all my other battery's have charged fine , this one doesn't want to end , is it safe to carry on charging ? Any ideas as to why its taking so long

should be ok but would say that's why it took so long bet the were way out to start run them in your car down to 6.5 volts then try rebalance charging them
