Charging a Battery Bank
I am planning on upgrading my batteries to 4 6v batteries wired in series and parallel to have a 12v system with plenty of Amp Hours. There is a ton of information on how to wire things up but nothing...

BFL13 - I'm good for now... I'm pretty sure my charger is regulated only for the DC VOLTS output and the DC CURRENT is determined by the load (OHMS LAW)...
I can see the batteries tapering back in DC CURRENT as they take on charge. The 14.4VDC and 13.6VDC Modes stays constant during this period... This is telling me the battery internal resistance is changing at different charge states. The only way I know to get more DC Current out of my charger setup is to raise the charge voltage.
No big deal here - just trying to match up what I really needed to keep my four GC2 batteries safely recharged with no over heating or boiling out of fluids...
I'll go back to my splitting wood routine today trying to keep warm here hehe... I know how to do that pretty good...
Thanks again for your comments... "I'm good" as they say on NCIS TV program...
