OP, sorry for sliding this into the thread--all done now.
Mex, thanks for the clarification. I can manage that.
I have an 8D 250AH AGM and two 27 size 100AH AGMs banked. All three have exactly the same data sheet specs for recharging. They want 14.5-14.9 for "cycle use" and 13.8 for "float use". So a little higher voltage for "cycle use" than Lifeline and some others.
I can do the 250 with my 55 amper and two 100s next, so they all get 20% when needed. The max of 27 per 100 is also kept by doing two 100s with the 55. All good.
I don't need to break out the Honda 3000 at home to use higher amp chargers, which would be a nuisance.
Thanks again for the good info!
