I appreciate the additional information regarding the timer and EQ schedule, but could you please answer the reread my last post to be sure I am following your recommendations correctly?
"Thanks for the reply MW! Let me reiterate for my understanding. For top charge find a battery charger that I can set the amperage to 5% of total Ah, currently 235 so ~11.25amps. Charge bank until voltage reaches 15v and terminate. Do this every 7 days? Do full EQ when SG on weakest cell is below spec.? I am going to add two more 235Ah so total will be 470Ah. So 5% will be about 23.5a? Will a stupid 6amp charger supply 11.25a let alone 23.5a?"
