Crown Battery raises recommended absorption VoltageBFL13 wrote:
Not so fast! They still want (in the charging guideline) the "finish stage" (which follows the shortened-in--to about 92% SOC-- "absorption stage") to be constant 3-4 amps per 100ah and to go to 2.65v per cell, which is 15.9v.
That "finish stage" was fitted in where the last part the longer full "absorption stage" was with the two stage profile that went to 97% .
That is not weekly equalization either, that is the everytime recharge. When you equalize, you run the finish stage an extra three hours.
Which is all very like Interstate saying to do an equalize every time after the end of the absorption stage in the two stage profile on their 6s.
It is possible that these chargers are now doing this higher voltage all the time, or is it more likely that the temp compensation curve just doesn't have a hard cutoff for high voltage?
