Just a battery charger!!??!?!!!
YOu need action shots man.
Here I grabbed my Meanwell rsp 500 15 from my RV and carried it to a friends to top charge his sitting AGMs at 55f.
Enthrallingly exciting isn't it? Ha
He actually has a 100 amp adjustable voltage powermax which could top charge too, but it is easier for me to get my meanwell and hook it up rather than his powermax, and i get an idea of the Watt hours/ amp hours required to refill the batteries after sitting for X amount of time and get a sense of their rate of self discharge.
More enlightenment, and data points.
BTW, with my RV's new dash mounted adjustable voltage regualtor for the alternator, I have been lowering voltage to 12.8 before shutting engine off. Next morning when battery could max out alternator on a cold start at ~70 amps total, it makes much much less to seek only 12.8v.
When She's a little bit warmer I crank dial upto 14.4v and can hear the v8 engine note change a bit with the additional ~60 amps of load on the alternator.
Fun stuff, this being in full control business. If only everything else could be handled so.
