Seems there are some parallels with obsessing abuot finding the perfect lead acid 3 or 4 stage automatic charger for battery X, and then becoming used to achieving full charge, with considerably less effort, when using an adjustable voltage power supply, and knowing in general how long it will take..
The adjustable voltage power supply allows a precision not possible with 99$ of things labelled 'smart', and the hassle of trying to get the 'smart' to do automatically , what the human mind and fingers can accomplish in a half second, makes one question why it had to be 'automatic' in the first place, especially when it misses 'ideal' 9 times out of 10.
Mobilesport and others, thanks for sharing your experiences actually cycling and using this battery chemistry with various degrees of BMS deployed.
Regarding my recent off topic alternator failure, it was nice to see the amperage load, the voltage held providing that load once it failed, from the driver's seat at 65mph, and deduce that I could easily keep driving to my destination, and worry about it later.
If some battery/alternator light started flashing instead with no ammeter revealing rate of discharge, I would have been tempted to pull off and investigate then and there, but it was late at night on a weekend, and that's the last thing I would want to do.
