OK, you definitely win this argument! I just received clear confirmation from my own technical support which upholds your claim. I guess I should have pulled up and studied the schematics of the two products before I began my argument. I could offer other excuses....but I won't.

Pardon me while I go look for a large crow for dinner.....

BTDT :)

I believe you might have been thinking of so-called "Low Frequency PWM" like they use in Specialty Concepts controllers. It is not "real PWM." In Bulk it is always on, then for Absorb it goes into this:

"CHARGING METHOD: Low Frequency Pulse Width Modulation : - The ASC
provides pulses of charging current at varying durations to maintain the batteries at a full state of charge and insure the long-term health on the batteries.

The “on” and “off” cycle time is wide enough to eliminate electronic noise and short enough to insure the batteries are always topped off. This method allows the batteries to reach a higher voltage with the “on” cycle and protect the batteries from gassing in
the “off” cycle. This will provide the benefits of the higher voltage (reduced sulfation and stirred up electrolyte) and prevent excessive gassing and excessive water loss."

I had an ASC but I fried it doing a newbie trick. It worked quite well and had a variable high set point and temp comp too.
