Good idea but it's too late for me. I ordered a 40 amp mega watt power supply.
I'm nearly at that point too Came very close to clicking 'place order'. My Schumacher sc2500a is unpredictable and can be violent, as it rushes well past 15 volts while pumping 15+ amps into a 130 amp hour battery.
I like the fact that it can do 16v. I don't like that I have no control over when it does this, or that it does not go constant voltage for a while in the mid to high 14's. Even the AGM setting will go hard and fast and dangerous, sometimes.
The other choice would be a Mean Well as they have models that will do 13.5 to 18. As long as a person doesn't want to use it for a 13.2 float. It just made me wonder because it would be operating in the low part of it's band if kept at less than 16 v vs the Mega Watt having to be turned all the way up in it's band or range. I'm not an engineer or electronics type guy so maybe one of you can comment on that. Mega Watt has very good reviews.
