Searching for appropriate Solar Charger
Just upgraded my 2013 Jayco Swift 18' TT with dual 6V batteries and LED lighting .. Now I'm looking for a "Very Portable" 100Wt Solar Charging system .. I've read many forum posts where folks talk ab...

If you go much higher in charging rate than 33% with low batts you don't get any constant amps at all because you are already on the absorption curve.
That is different in a way (it is sort of violent) from using lower amps but starting at a higher SOC where you also would be on the absorption curve right away.
I just prefer having a few minutes of constant amps, then see it taper instead of hitting it with a huge charging rate and getting a monster voltage spike to Vabs right off. Seems too drastic to me. Seeing at least a little constant amps at first makes me think everything is going the way it should.
