PD or Iota for my upgrade?
I'm thinking about a converter and battery upgrade. The batteries will be wet cell lead acid 6 volt Possible T-105s or the 230AH, EGC2 from Sam's club. I'll probably go for four. (Does nayone have...

61 amps on 490AH is an initial 12.4% charging rate.
On 220AH that would be using 27 amps. Using my ugly graph, go across at 27amps and see that amps would taper at about 82%
Which supports the figures you got. I find that with a mid-14s vabs, the charging rate can be used to est the SOC tapering will start as shown here. It seems that batteries are somewhat predictable
Good work getting the PD running right. Salvo will have a heart attack! :)
yup, it definitely was starting to taper a little at 80% and for shure by 84%. Nice to have some confirmation of what to expect. THANKS!
my next test will be to discharge to 50% and then turn on both the PD 60 and the PD45 in the distribution panel. However the PD45 has 20+ft of #4 to the battery. I did a quick check on this when I first started the last experiment and initial charge current was 100A. Any guess on how long it will hold 100A before starting to taper?
