how often are you replacing water at these 16v charge rates? and what do you guys do when you disconnect the battery's when charging for power?
and how do you guys know when your done with this 16v charge? simply checking the SG?
Do a search on "Equalization" by Mexicowanderer. The write up is complete. Maybe ask a Moderator to make it a sticky.
Too many here that have had tough batteries to get the proper performance out of due to use of a 14.4v charge controller off the grid with their own portable generator have found it to be spot on.
Seek, and ye shall find.
In general, if you are doing short, infrequent Equalization charges, to max your specific gravity out and your voltage to 16.0 at the prescribed amperage C/20... you should lose very, very, very little water. The procedure requires a short period of time of baby sitting, until you know the routine on your battery.
