FWC, thanks for the detailed explanation.
BTW, I did not invent the 0-5C "issue", that came from the Trillium charging specs to use reduced charging below 5C. The Relion heater lets charging begin at 5C. Seems to indicate that there is something going on there.
Para 6.6 here:

Also, wrt the other question, note this from the same para 6.6--
"If the charger will not run until it detects battery voltage, be sure that Group 24 or Group 27 batteries are turned
on. If the charger provides charge without detecting battery voltage, and the battery is shut off, the battery will
turn on automatically as soon as the charger starts."
The charger that needs to see battery voltage first, is not quite the same thing as an inverter/charger needing 12v to operate its charger, but it does make you wonder (unless you know the details, which I sure don't)
