'Smart' charger playing dumb
My NOCO charger has a red light when I first connect it up, which changes to green. Presumably to indicate 'done'.
But, thanks to you folks, I have a nifty cheapo ammeter.
Turns out, when the light turns green the battery is still absorbing at a couple of amps. And If I leave it hooked up, the charger will keep outputting those couple amps, then 1.5, then 1...
All these years, I had no idea that I was getting a deeper charge when I hooked up my ancient car charger with builtin dial ammeter and took it down to 1.
Oh well, my gel cels are 9 years old. They must not hold it against me.
