Well I want at least 30 amps to bulk charge my Northstar AGM, it is still doing tarzan yells from the 36 amps the cheapowatt fed it until 14.7ABSV. A portion of that 36 amps upto about ~6.2 amps at times, was feeding loads on the system.
But my Flooded battery has a 'recommended' rate of 13 amps, but as evidenced by my smoked cheapowatt, can easily accept 38 amps.
generally if i have plugged in , i have no time limit, but the AGM needs a high rate, and seemingly the higher the better, like lifeline says on their Agm's.
Ideally, I'd like a user selectable 15 or 40 amp max charge rate, fully adjustable voltage up to 16v, and a built in timer that triggers a user selectable float of 13.1 or 13.6v.
