This is a method to assert fully charged based on the charging Amps rate tapering down to a percentage of batter Amp hours.
2. Smart Chargers. Off the shelf chargers do not charge lead acid chemistry no matter the format(flooded, gel, AGM) and the assertion by some folks that there is no such thing as an automatic charger. Relying on this type of charger may lead to a shorter battery life.
I am asserting that I have accomplished both.
