i think this may be the way for me to go. totally hands on. only issue with this unit would be the limited amps. my pm4b starts at about 10 amps in 13.6 abs mode, so i'll need more amps at say 14.6v, yes? a unit like this would serve my needs well i would think, for both abs charging and topping and equalizing. and the pm4b could still be used if i do drain the batteries deep on occasion.
any thoughts?
Look up the Meanwell NES-300 -15 series of power supply units on ebay. For certain, as you bump the voltage up to 15.0V on the power supply unit, the battery will take more amps. More volts = more "pressure" to cause the reverse chemical reaction of getting the sulfur off the plates and back into the electrolyte solution.
