Understood. 14.4 wins out..
So riddle me this..
I have these 12volters on the sears charger. Charging 10 amp setting @15.4 volts and 4 amps going in. SG is now at 1.250.
Its been 2 hours.
Can I conclude any information from this?
Why wouldnt the PD put in the amps @ 14.4? I know you say about the false voltage so just trying to grasp it.
Not yet fully charged. Look for less than 1 amp per battery to call full charge.
PD will put in the amps at 14.4, just slower.
You can get a PD-14.8 to be a little faster. Quite frankly I like the IOTA algorithm but it does take time. Fully charging also takes time. Fully charging a battery that has been bouncing up to 90% for a week or three takes more time. Boost charge to 90% is fairly quick as you get into 14.6+ volts.
It is an electro-chemical process. Not the same as filling your gas tank or winding a spring.
