What Battery Chargers Have Been Reduced To...
IF BATTERY CHARGERS WERE BICYCLES...

When I reassemble my Schumacher sc2500a with new 10 awg leads, I will see how it fares on the debilitated/ capacity compromised and 50% depleted screwy31, and then how much more my Meanwell can stuff into it.
But this Schumacher sometimes goes all masochistic and goes to 16.4v at 12 or 25 amps constant current.
I'm hoping replacing the horrid quality 12awg copper leads calms down this major personality flaw, as me carrying the 67LB screwy 31 to the meanwell is easier than unscrewing the meanwell and carrying it to the screwy31 in my workshop and a functioning charger in the workshop would be nice, even if it can't truly fully charge a battery worth only the core charge.
Often in the past I have seen the schumacher flash the green light, drop to 13.2v, yet still 5.2 amps were flowing to hold 13.2v. 5.2 amps flowing at 13.2v is certainly no fully charged battery.
Whatever safety mechanisms the lawyers caused to be enacted are tripped all to easily, yet they sometimes are completely ignored with this specific charger, and it will seriously overcharge at constant 12 or 25 amps until 16.4v is reached.
