Well im 3.5 hours into the amp test... Not sure if I did any better then previously with the wfco... Even the wfco @ 13.6 volts may have had more amps throughout the scale/time limits...
Ya know the guy at wfco that I talked too did say lower volts more amps and the wfcos are mis represented... IDK.. Looking at my written data the wfc @ 13,6 volts does show the 1 hr mark at the same 24 amps.
The 3 hr mark with the wfco was 8.1 amps vs 3.96 amps for the PD unit..
And another thing is when I tested the wfco it was with the original wiring...
I wonder what I would get out of the added wire... IDK Ill stop rambling...
I will get the pics up when im dont in a few days...
I know someone made a chart in the other thread. It would be interesting to see all 3 in a chart to compare. Im not smart enough t do data points..

6;15 7.04 / 14.33
6;30 5.27 / 14.35
( Hydro reading 2.5 hrs 1225 WTF? maybe junk ez red hydrometer. But looks like 80% charged?)
6;45 *** ( missed this one)
7 3 hr 3.96 / 14.38
7;15 3.47 / 14.39
7;30 2.96 / 14.39
7;45 2.56 / 14.40
8 4 hr 2.26 / 14.40
Final hydrometer reading was 1/4y above 1225 on the ez red.. So between 1225 and 1250 I estimate to be 1231 specific gravity.
So I guess it stays on 4 hours and does not kick to float when the 14.4 is reached...
It went into 13.6 at the 4 hour mark...
So this is where im at..
Kind of disheartening aint it....
