Question:
If the sole duty of an auxiliary manual charger is to provide a single value charging voltage limit, is not the factory pot on the Megawatt adequate to play with, tweak and then use at that setting until death-do-us-part? Or, is your thought bent toward using the Mega for a 2nd battery maintenance chore?
My thought and hope, a hope not based on an adequate knowledge base, is that the Megawatt will do two things for me using generator power:
1. Do an adequate equalizing charge as needed at the voltage recommended by Trojan, 15.5 volts. Since these are new Trojans this would be needed only very occasionally at first, I would think.
2. Do the first, bulk, stage of a three phase charge at the 14.8 volts recommended by Trojan.
Following that it is hope that the charge could be turned over to the WFCO for the absorption and float stages, but, judging by reports on this thread, this can not always be relied upon. In that case I hope the Megawatt could manually be set to do an absorption stage, then the float stage by the WFCO. Can the Megawatt do a float stage if the WFCO isn't even capable of doing that?
If you get the chance to come back and reread all of this 6 months or 5 years from now, you will realize all of the brain cells you had wasted when all you needed is a decent multi stage converter/charger. You will forget this and go on to who knows what, making the best baby crib for a grand kid maybe. I just get a kick out of it all.
