Some additional information:
My batteries are group 29, the biggest marine battery walmart sells. I use a "real" volt meter to determine the voltage. My charger is a good one, as you know, and after 6 hours of charging, it stops charging and indicates the batteries are full. As I watch my charger charge, it starts at 25.7 amps and then gradually lowers its amps down to full charge. Again, checking with my volt meter after full charge, the volt meter registers about 13.06-13.10 volts.
I'm not just using the trailer charger, I'm using both the trailer charger and a very good charger which tells me battery state. I know the battery is getting 25.7 amps from the charger, plus whatever the trailer's putting out.
Thanks for the help.
