Circulation through the glass mat must reach 100% of the plates. Do you really want an E=MC2 answer?
Concorde does not publish gibberish, and frankly, to challenge their data findings in a less than professional setting raises my eyebrows. The process of complete and even ion plate saturation should remain beyond the scope of this message board IMHO
David - finally someone (you) may have finally written some non-E=MC2 eloquently simple words that I clipped from your post above: 1) "Circulation through the glass mat must reach 100% of the plates.", and 2) "The process of complete and even ion plate saturation ...".
Are those statements hinting at why one needs to start out using higher voltages initially, when charging AGM batteries, in order to bring them back to full design capacity? Hence is that why my AGM batteries may not be "really" charged to full design capacity - when I've charged them for hours at only ~13.8 volts until their charging current acceptance level has sunk down to around 0.5 amps or less?
Boy ... if so, that sure flys in the face of the decades old rule that trickle charging is the best way to recharge batteries so as to get the longest life out of them. :h
(IMHO and FWIW - if someone can't explain something complex in a simple way then maybe they don't truly understand what it is that they're trying to explain.)
