... as long as it's able to terminate charging at this point (or, better yet, few % below). These chargers will keep it in Absorb where you may not want to be, and/or drop to fixed Float where it "should" terminate charging, but I recall some reports few pages ago that it doesn't always stop charging in Float. Can anybody provide a link to that discussion, btw?
You want to be able to adjust charging profile. Meanwell looks better in this respect. Perhaps, coupled with $3 kitchen timer.
Not really 12V charger, but these are features that I would like to see. Dial page 9 or scroll to page 17 in the booklet.
Cycle Satiator 12-36-48V.
Top voltage - adjustable.
Bulk amps - adjustable.
Slow start at low "trickle amps" until it's safe to switch to full amps - adjustable.
Oddly, I don't see any timer and they are talking about low currents that might flow when the charging is complete.
Graph shows charging nominal 36V pack.
