And--Anybody who thinks you can have constant voltage at the battery terminals while the battery voltage is constantly rising must be bonkers IMO.
Nobody it thinking that Volts can be constant at both ends.
But how about the idea of constant Voltage from the battery's POV. In this case, the charger's sense is watching the Voltage at the battery terminals. Let's say the current is enough that the charger actually supplies an extra 1V so that 14.4 arrives at the battery. IOW the transition from bulk to abs occurs at 15.4V at the chargers end. Perhaps this is due to smaller wiring or extra distance.
Now when you monitor Abs, the Charger's Voltage decreases DOWN to the battery's CONSTANT 14.4V as a result of decreasing Amps.
That is my understanding of the purpose of the sense as described by Morningstar. If you disagree, I will be happy to email them for clarification.
