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...

"What If" scenarios not based in obective terms (usability) tend to frustrate folks who look for the parameters of the concept. As our professor in our EE class snared: "You just made a statement. Defend it".
Using a throttled I limit both power supplies li
Ited to X optimum voltage PLUS A X FACTOR TIME LIMIT there can be argument as to Is An Amp an Amp?
But extend the X time parameter BEYOND the Vab decline point in the flooded battery and suddenly the VRB is all over the flooded. Both decline indeed but the ENERGY UNDER CURVE for the VRB is appreciably greater. It is not a linear decline so how does one express it and in real-world terms, a throttled charge curve may be confusing to many.
"Not worth the effort" response on my part would have been a cop-out. The real answer was and is to take advantage of strong points. It was sort of like querying what is the per pencentage chances of a flat between a 100 mph tire compared to a 130 mph tire when both are used at 60 mph?
Charge receptivity can be expressed as a curve. But multiple charts are needed for de-rates according to cell temperature. Impressing 30 amperes needs interpretation as to total amp hour capacity in question. Is there a rational way to explain this in a fashion that could be employable by members of this forum?
For me it distilled into a "Damned if you do, Damned if you don't choice". I elected for the least ambiguous answer. Want to get there faster increase your speed. Of course holding a smaller map the disstances are shorter (Just Kidding!)
