Since there are so many different manufacturer charging recommendations, I would much prefer a programmable user interface - after all we’re talking about the 21st century...
Does that mean you would choose a time at Vabs to go with your size of bank? I suppose you could pick a time to go with your starting SOC each time you did it. Perhaps have a way to set times for some typical starting SOCs per AH of bank that you can program, but would need to pick one to start things off?
In an ‘ideal world’ my dream charger would have a programmable timer, but more importantly would be coulomb-counter based, yet per the 09 White Paper below, it’s not without it’s own unique issues...Having said that, it may be possible to cobble together a somewhat rudimentary back-door set-up using a programmable SOC meter, relay and a timer...Unfortunately as it sits today, charger technology has a way to go, while a few popular manufacturer’s seem content to simply rest idly on their laurels...
Count me frustrated in Nevada - lol
