No automatic 3 stage converter/charger offered can accomplish the 15.5v+ EQ charge.
Arrgghhh! I just wrote this post and it bonked when I tried to "post" it! Apparently it doesn't like a percentage sign, but then I see you used one . . anyway. . starting over
Hi Landyacht318 - thanks for chiming in.
It's funny that you comment that the PD9245 is not 'junk', even though it apparently does not produce a 'true' equalizing charge (of 15+v) despite the fact that the manual and the website "boasts" that it Does provide an equalization charge - but only 14.4 or 14.8 - I forget which right now. So if it is marketed as a true "4 stage charger" but doesn't truly "equalize", then - at least part of it is 'junk' - imho.
I have no way of creating a 15+v charge right now. Am reading that I may/should be able to do that with the solar panels I'm looking to add. I detest running my gen. Ran it 6 hours yesterday with batts at 70 percent - never got above 14.1v, but amps in tapered to <1 so . . . I was hoping that was 'close' to full.
Appreciate your comments/thoughts
