Exactly why the 26a Noco could be the perfect charger for me. We rarely go below 75% SOC and if not running the heater would be about 90% SOC. This charger would only get used when the solar cant get it done.
Noco has very good chat technical support and their response to my absorption question is below. Basically there is a good chance that it won't hold absorption long enough during a second charge cycle to do me any good. But I have some hope that running the AGM plus mode after a normal mode might hold it at higher volts long enough. Batterymart has a 45 day return policy so I'm going to try one out and report back.
Thanks for all the good info and I'll give an update in a few weeks.
Noco response:
"The charge steps do not last a set amount of time. The chargers monitor how the battery is accepting the charge, and progress through the steps accordingly. So the it will remove the charge if the it senses the battery is fully charged"
