Voltage "hitting the wall" on manual charger
Been meaning to ask for some time now. I noticed that when I use my manual charger for topping off the batteries that the voltage will rise to the 15V area and just stop there. Amps stops too. I have ...

Once they got broken in, then the charger would stall out right ~15V. The 10A setting will push it right up to 16V and beyond but I want the batts to take that 15+V until SG gets up to baseline. 2A does do it but I'm wondering if I should stop it when it stops.
I noticed my 1a manual trickle charger can only get the batts so high, but a higher amp trickle charger can get them to a higher voltage before stalling.
when using the Honda gen's DC charger, it stalled out at 16+ v when on Economy but when on full revs it got to 17+ volts on the batts
It must be another one of those power ( Watts---eeeuw) things.
