TooTall thanks for the info. Over Thanksgiving we boondocked for four days in the shade so had to use my 2000w genset to charge batteries. I used my Schumacher manual charger on the 25a setting. Only lower setting is 2a. It got the job done but when the amps started to taper during absorption the volts went above 16a. Did you track the voltage when charging at 10a?
I used it today at 17 amps, I don't recall ever seeing that kind of voltage. Usually High 14's and then it shuts down. I've got to do some charging tomorrow, I'll see what voltage it max out at.
