"I think just plugging in the meanwell set at 13.7ish volts when 5 to 10AH from full was a contributor to my lazy battery symptoms, So now every time, When i plug in, I will force 14.7v until amps taper to 0.45 or less, then drop to 13.6v. Temperature compensated of course."
This has me a bit worried. If recharging at 14.8 after getting home and the batts are almost but not yet full by bedtime, I lower the voltage. I don't want to leave that 14.8 going after they are full sometime that night.
But then it seems they won't be really full? Can you compensate for that by giving them a half hour of 15v or whatever next day and then return them to Float?
