There are two straight lines--the constant current in Bulk at .25C in the one graph and the constant current in Bulk at .4C in the second graph. One takes four hours and the other takes one hour. How can that be?

If C is 100,

25a x 4h = 100AH and they haven't even started the Absorption stage yet.

40a x 1h = 40AH and then the 15 minute? Absorption stage gets the batt full to 100AH?
