AGM vs Flooded Bulk Times
PT keeps asking whether AGMs will spend more time in Bulk at the same charging rate. I found a good example where that can be measured, using ah64id's test with his PD4655 on his pair of Lifeline...

To arrive at true quiescient voltage connect to 3-1/2 digit DMM when there is no movement upward or downward in the hundreths column for two minutes the starting voltage has stabilized.
Again I say total time to traverse 50% - 100% state of charge is significantly quicker in an AGM battery. Period. No ambiguities. Skewing of data happens via methedology not physics. Charge acceptance is higher at 50% through 99%. Verify static using impedence comparisons.
Wet batteries demand 14.8 for shortest charge time. The Lifeline recommendation is 14.4 all decided at normal 25c cell temperature.
Charge resistance increases in a flooded battery as fill passes 70%. You need to compare I curves at recommended constant E not the reverse.
Finish off at 80% SOC by impressing 20% of rated ampere hpur capacity in the form of I across both batteries. What do you see? This is a rude introduction into the field of charge rejection or reluctance.
Yes fooling woth the speedometer can allow one car to get there faster :)
