Flooded Batteries on Float
It's been mentioned that flooded batteries just keep accepting amps seemingly forever whereas AGM's will stop accepting amps when they're full. Don't know if it's true or not but I can say that my bat...

I think Mena went ahead with the "damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead with a $50 33 amp Mega Watt Power supply, like I did, from the guy down the road from us, after Mexi gave us the Ebay lead, and I contacted him directly and bought one. To my knowledge, at least around here, I was the guinea pig on this Mega Watt. Granted, one T-1275 does not make me an expert, but that battery will eat up 14.8 or 15.0V and pull the full 33 amps right at first start up on a Eu2000i, according to my DC amp meter.
Understand, though, I dry camp, and I want things done quickly on the battery, first thing in the morning. I camp 6 - 8 times a year, sometimes for a week or so, sometimes 4 or 5 days. I don't camp full time, or use full hookups any more. Dry camping is more my style, and near a good river with some nice fly fishing. My charging needs are unique, to me only. YMMV if you use a pedestal and full hookups on a 30 amp or 50 amp power jack. My power comes from gas, a Honda inverter generator, and a 120watt solar panel.
