Bulk-Absorption Charging Voltage
2 Concord 8D (258 AH each) Freedom 25 Inverter-Charger (130 amp) Trimetric 2025 Gauge I'm dry camping and charging my batteries. They were 30% discharged. My Concords call for 14.2-14.4v absorpti...

Just because your converter/charger is set to 14.4v does not mean that amount is getting to your batts. A voltage lose due the distance between the charger and batts along with being relatively underwired (not big enough)should be expected due to age. Believe the Trimetric voltage not the settings for abs and float.
Keep in mind, the trimetric's single decimal place voltage readout rounds up. So, charging voltage could actually be as low as say 14.12v, but the trimetric will read 14.2v. So you need to verify everything with a handheld multimeter.
Do you know for a fact that charger use to put out higher voltages and amps? (It sure looks like it's not living up to it's potential.)
