PD9245 and Lifeline GPL-31XT testing
I just acquired a Progressive Dynamics PD9245 converter to specifically charge a New Lifeline AGM GPL-31Xt at 125AH capacity. I tested the converter tonight on a different battery, and saw Voltages...

I Am not so happy that the PD decided to revert to 13.6v storage mode on its own when the battery obviously can take so much more.
But after a pendant toggling, it is now holding 14.5v and amps have tapered to 13.9 amps on the combo meter and 14.57 amps on my clamp on meter @ ~ 1:20 after starting PD.
Now to see when it goes into normal 13.6 mode
You will find that the Pd will hold the 14.4 for 4 hrs per spec... If not something is wrong.
The nice thing is the PD is the only advanced converter, to my knowledge that will hold 14.4 for 4 hrs. Others will drop out per the programming of the charge algorithm. With the 9145 and you have 1 battery it will get to finish charging in bulk...
Some do not like the PD due to the output sag when AC voltage lowers... That does not bother me and some others.... To some it is almost viral.
