Checked with my hydrometer and reading 1.225 so the 90% sounds about right. I have the converter in boost mode now with charging rate of .335 amps. The percentage charged is going up slowly. Can anyone recommend a stand alone charger which would equalize charge the T105's?
You did not even read the Trojan guide!!! :( If you did, you would see that 1.258 is 90% and your 1.225 is maybe 73% ish.
Yes, you want 16.2v to equalize the Trojans (first you have to get them full using 14.8v) You can do that with this converter, used as a portable charger by just putting a set of cut off jumper cables in the terminals and clamp to the battery bank. the adjustable voltage mode goes from 13-16.5v. (You set the converter voltage before you clamp to the batteries)
