battery charging voltage
Hi, My new to me batteries will be installed tomorrow. I know that recommended float voltage is 13.5 to 13.8 volts. What would be a good voltage for absorb charging? They are used telecom ...

Hi Mex,
Since I have four does that mean 2 amps instead of 0.5 amps? So far as I am aware the Magnum does not have a "timer" so it should stay in absorb until the batteries are ready to float.

Yep. This is why Concorde issued succinct instructions for charging then knowing for a fact the battery is 100% charged before reverting to float maintenance. I would suggest trying their formula with your battery manufacturer's recommended VMAX. In your case sir, point five amperes then see if float amperage climbs. An increasing float amperage is a classic tattletale the battery has been forced to float before it is fully charged.
