Yeah and non of this involves a twenty-two cent integrated circuit that pouts and snivels when it is told it is arrogant and stupid.
A new issue to ponder is X amount of amperes available on float voltage and voltage stays there until it is told to come out of it's room. Unneeded cycling shortens battery life considerably. A battery that short cycles three or four times a day does not have the lifespan of one kept on float until top charging is required, say every second or third week. Fifteen minutes max.
I am feeding this stuff in little chunks to digest easier.
The above obviously is for long-term power post connection. And yes it means substituting a power supply in place of an idiot smart converter.
