Charging the Lifelines questions
As you all know, anything more than clipping the auto charger onto a battery is well above my pay grade, so I have some questions. For the regular charge before the conditioning charge, the Lifelin...

Lifeline spells out what they like to see in equipment and maintenance. They are an engineer oriented company. Their military battery mil-spec manuals are similar. It isn't that Concorde batteries are diffetent - it"s other AGM OEMs are less rigid and precise in their maintenance recommendations. Look through the threads and I covered this in exhaustive detail. You can treat a Fullriver or an Exide or a Deka according to Concorde recommendations and the battery will live longer when on a float maintenance and MUCH MUCH longer if cycled and not underpoweted when being recharged. Not being correctly recharged is the big killer with any AGM battery. Stop. Think. Is 13.3 volts a correct float voltage at 15F ? Of course not. And THAT is a big-time killer of ALL AGM batteries. This is why hou will NOT find a set voltage batterh tender on my premisis. Weather temperature trends change slowly enough to allow manual volrage adjustments. If you want automatic that is correct it will have a remote thermistor temp probe and a volt per C taper that agrees with the LIFELINE curve which is the correct curve for any and all AGM batteries.
