I am using a P9260C 60AMP Converter/Charger here and have two banks of GP24 12VC Interstate 85AH batteries, One battery bank only has one working 12VDC Battery in it.
I will run down my batteries to around 12.0VDC over night and when I first fire up my generator running the PD9260C Converter/charger I will see 14.4VDC on my BATTERY MONITOR PANEL reading both selected battery banks and my DC CURRENT meter is reading around 53-54 DC AMP. This is telling me my selected batteries are demanding around 18AMP DC current each when first hit with 14.4VDC.
This sets in this mode for two hours showing 14.4VDC and DC current starts tapering off after around 15 minutes. The DC current slowly tapers back to around 8AMP DC CURRENT in the two hour period.
After two hours the PD9260C switches to 13.6VDC and the DC current drops to around 6AMPs DC. It will remain in this mode for about an hour and then gets to it 90% charge state.
If no current drain is being detected from the trailer side then the PD9260C will drop back to 13.2VDC but as soon as current start being drawn then the PD9260C will revert back to it 13.6VDC mode.
This is basically what I see each morning on my battery monitor panel when camping off the battery banks.
Pretty much follows the battery charging chart shown in the PD9260C manual.
