The real illustration I get from those graphs is the 13.6 tapered so fast the charge was terminated at 3 hours thinking all was good. Then go to 14.4 volts and it was obvious the charge was not done at 3 hours so the time was extended to 4 hours. The drop in voltage at 4 hour mark made charging pointless to continue.
back out ~an hr from the 14.4v to compare starting @ the same pt!
well second test at 14.4 I believe batts were down more.
But even at 13.6 now I should get more charging amps with the parallel wires.
Best testing for me will be in the field camping..
The testing may all be a fluke but I believe when I tested previously with the one wire and batts down low I could not get it to 14.4...
In the field with the generator I can gauge better..
Ill be ending the year camping on the delaware.. No hook ups.. piece and quiet...
They stay open until dec 31...
