Mex, my highest (adjustable) voltage charger can do 16.5v at most at 45 amps (PowerMax PM3 45LK)
I see para 5.6 here, so that looks like fun! Yipes. I could give it a whirl. (Don't really want to, but if required....)

Do you suppose the 8D has been like this ever since I got it a year ago, or did it go this way recently for some reason?
What will happen in the near future if I pretend I never found this out, and carry on as though everything is "just fine"?
EDIT--I don't have a way to maintain constant charge current at 5%
of 24 hr (assume typo for 20 hr?) capacity = 12.5amps. If the charge current is around that amount by a fluke, I can keep it at 12.5 by raising the voltage as the amps taper until I reach max charger voltage 16.5, but then amps will taper. I remember something about light bulbs to help with that, but long gone in memory how that works.
