So if you look at my 4 hour test above and average the AH's put in I get about 70 ah's...
Looking at the wfco with the 13.6 charging with #6 wire I got 54.5 ah's put back in with the 3 hour test I did.
( What I find odd with the wfco charging is it started at the 32 amps, then held 24 amps for at least 1 hr 20 minutes. Why if it wasn't in bulk mode did it hold amps and not taper? Part of an algorithm?)
I can probably speculate the last hour charging would of netted and additional 5 amps so total would have been 65 ah's back in batts. I dont think they were as discharged as this latest test..
Just talking out loud here is all..
I know I know, you need the 14.4 volts to push the amps in but calculating if the wfco holds the amps longer even @ 13.6 volts who's really winning? And by what? 10 minutes?
I calculated the 5 amp mesurments for the first 1hr 20 minuts. I took 5..
PD 38.4 amps in... 1 hr 20 min.
Wfco 25.6 amps in...1 hr 20 minutes.
I bet if I test the wfco again with the increased wire size it will be a close race...
Maybe all I gained for $200 bucks is a button, and a 4th stage equalize mode.... ha ha ha
I know.. I have a troubled mind.... LOLOL
