Looks to me you analyzed your issues correctly. However try to maintain a 5% of total amp hour constant current. This is so important. A 50 watt 12 volt light bulb wired in series with the positive OR negative charge lead wire will render good enough control for a 100 ampere hour battery and a 100 watt bulb or two fifties in parallel will work fine for 200 amp hours capacity. Limit finishing voltage to 16.0
I have a hunch many are trying to rush the process with higher uncontrolled amperage. This is bad juju for too many reasons to list.
Yes, this is what I'm hoping to accomplish with the 1620. It's 0-16v and 0-20a. And this is why I shot for 11.5a with my half-azz attempt with the pm ... between 5 and 6% of 215Ah.
