PD4655 Charging Graph
I have been reading quite a bit about different converters and charge rates, specifically some claims that PD's seem to drop off earlier than other brands. That is not what I have noticed on my setup,...

- The total kWh hours transacted lifespan can have an additional integer inserted that deals with the cost of recharging the battery over its lifespan
- Revelation of total cost including purchase
- Convenience of AGM is subjective subject, such as higher CCA and no "messy" maintenance
- This has to be balanced by the customer to arrive at a "Is it worth twice the price resolving of purchase"
- Higher charge receptivity is not free of glitches. Bigger charger needed, bigger generator, shorter run time. Owner (a) cannot decide owner (b) advantages and disadvantages of AGM versus Flooded without doing an analysis of the whole picture

Ahhhh....
Sooo....
Thanks for answering the call of my PM, gramps, but...
Any thoughts on my post regarding the different operating voltages of AGMs and how that might effect one's perception of charging performance and such?
