Iota IQ-40 ?
Anybody with an Iota tried one of these? The ordinary IQ4 has the problem that as soon as the battery voltage hits 14.6, 15 minutes later the charger drops to 14.2v to do the next stage for up to 8 h...

owners or future owners of Iota converters should be happy there are more options as to absorption votlage duration and float voltage, but they still need to figure out which one of the offerings will work best for their specific and average application.
And once they research that, then spinning a voltage dial or a timer seems so much less complicated and so much more effective than trying to figure out which automatic regiment is actually correct for the average use most likely to be seen.
Seek 14.7, hold until full, 13.6v forever after, for me. Easy peazy and happy batteryitis. Full is determined with a ammeter, on my agm.
No way would I trust anything automatic. if I cannot be there when it is time to lower voltage from 14.7 to 13.6v, then time to full is not a concern and I can choose 14.0, or any dang voltage which gives me warm and fuzzies, by spinning a dial.
'Automatic' marketing, sickens me.
