Pulse width modulated, means the power is modulated all the time
It's a a high frequency pulse in the dc current, used to stimulate the plates to accept charge and remove sulfation
Doesn't matter wether it's in bulk or float
You would need a frequency meter or scope to see it
The avg multimeter will never show it to you
And has nothing in common With shunt controllers, except for being a solar charge controller, they work differently
Shunt controller Do not have PWM
