I don't understand their "recommended Absorb time" of 2 hours for DOD under 30%. They have the equation for Bulk that takes into account bank size in AH, DOD, and charging amps (constant in Bulk) but then just tack on another two hours regardless of bank AH size.
It might be they assume the acceptance rate for any size bank will be met by the charger during Absorb, but what if the charger (solar) can't do that many amps? Still two hours?
I know how it works with flooded batts as in my ugly graph on that, but these Lifelines have their own rules it seems.
