Hookah grade specification. Balderdash. Unprintable derisive expletive deleted sneering.
Once again an individual has fallen for plastic pen protector pasty white flesh squinty eyeballs behind thick lens idealism.
At 14.4 volts bulk and I mean if you have to throw a loop around your service drop transformer to power a Mosler safe sized charger to get 14.4 volts
Do it...
What do I need to do to get this across (?) Once engineers come up with a design then make it practical for production, their SOLE PURPOSE in administration is to ensure design specifications remain viable in product output. Think uniformity.
But bean counters look at engineer's pay stubs and whisper to the comptroller...
"We pay him -that- much for doing -what-?
Visions of pink slips haunt battery company engineer's dreams. So they invent, create, manipulate, and ooooooo, re-invent their wheels...anything but the pink slip.
"Da ideal voltage is 14.2226009 at 22.309c EXACTLY!"
"Da ideal charge current is 20.008 amperes at 15.838c EXACTLY"
"If dey don't do dat, da battery look bad and profits suffer!"
My phone would ring "X's" secretary would be on the line. "Could a meeting be scheduled for say next Tuesday at 10:00AM?"
Obviously things had gotten out of hand.
I would get a pallet of batteries dropped off. Comparative tests would be run and unicorns and gremlins would dissolve in the mist. Those folks knew I could give a **** about politik and that my tolerance for spiels was 0.00%
I can only hope "this" reply has made an impression. Cause I'm getting a little weary playing the part of an endless loop.
With power pole convenience who gives a **** how many hours recharging takes. Maintain the protocol for AGM minimum charging tolerance.
When a generator starts up it's a whole new ball game.
Read and listen to the genuine experts of the battery industry: TROJAN, ROLLS & SURRETTE, CONCORDE. If other manufacturer's data agrees with these folks - good on them.
It's when a bicycle manufacturer insists on 11.366 MPH for ultimate mechanical lifespan is when my eyebrows rise and my upper lip curls back.
