I might also be curious to change the resistor value. Try half or double and see if the time delay is adjusted. If you could get 2 or 3 hours of absorption you could actually go on a hike or go fishing etc without worry.
I don't understand that at all. The voltage drops by one volt after 15 minutes. You could maybe change that time, but what for? With no timer or voltage drop, you just set the voltage and it does Bulk and Absorption at that voltage. How long it keeps the battery in Bulk and how long Absorption takes is just a matter of the max amps (75 amps here) wrt the size of the battery bank in AH. (see ugly graph in the AGM thread)
Of course by the time you got back, somebody might have stolen your generator and maybe your charger if they are portables. :(
