Amps Rising not tapering During Abs Charging?
Charging with the pm4b last evening, I brought the bank to 9.2a @ 14.64Vabs. Amps plateaued there early on during the 2 1/2 hour charge. It was getting late, so I shut things down for the night. To...

Smk,
Have you seen current rise at the end of a Vabs charge? It seems strange, to me.
Did you let the 9 amps continue the rest of the day? Did it continue to increase? Fully charged should get you down close to 2 or 3 amps with 4x GC2.
No I have never waited around and watched an ammeter. Only on an over discharged battery have I see amps start slow and then increase. The process is a bit exaggerated at very low charge.
