I know a flooded battery starts to taper at 85% state of charge--12.5 amps per 100 amp-hours. Does anyone know at what voltage AGM's start to taper?
That is an interesting question.
Lifeline specs a 500% inrush limit which seems to say that a 500A charger could be used on a 100AH AGM. At what SOC% would the bulk charge end?
How long does an 80% discharged FLA stay in bulk when charged at the usual 25-33% charge rate. Is that charge rate where the 85% SOC after bulk comes from?
I would like to see a side-by-side charging test where the AGM gets a higher charge rate than the FLA allows.
