Replacing a 55 amp converter with a 45?
MY new trailer came with a WFCO 55 amp converter. My old trailer has a Progressive Dynamics 45 amp converter with a charge wizard. I want put the PD unit in my new trailer and the WFCO in my old. Shou...

Let's see if I understand this correctly.
V3 is higher than. V1. Subsequently, A3 is lower than A1...
??? is this a result of more pressure (v) pushing more Ah's (a) into the bank faster, and thus causing amps to taper faster? (to clarify, both start off at about the same amps, but the one tapers much more quickly).
And yes, I see that even at ~ 118 amps charge current, per the 180 Ah's needing to be replaced, amps did indeed begin to taper immediately. So yes, it stands to reason a 180 Amp charge current would taper amps well before 50% soc.
And it's finally dawning on me that I have never done a C/2 charge on my bank. The most I've ever done is about a C/5. So I wasn't even considering the effects of such a high charge rate on the time it would take for amps to taper. I mean, I knew there was some effect, but I hadn't seriously considered it within these parameters.
The next thing to consider, I guess, is whether or not amps taper fast enough to stay within that 1:1 ratio of Amps/Ah's discharged.
