PD9260, how does it work?
Anybody looked closely at this charger to see how it determines the battery status? For the first time I've forced it into "bulk" mode (fixed 14.4V) with the pendant (more like "absorb" if you ask ...

I don't know why your worry'n about it. When the PD get to float voltage, the batteries will be fully charged. The green lite tells you that,....that's if you don't have an amp/volt meter combo in the system. A PD is plug it and forget it, there in nothing that will take care of your batteries any better.
Think my Rogue MPPT does a better job, as I can adjust the charging parameters to match my batteries, in particular the temp compensated absorb voltage, the current at which to terminate the absorb phase, and the float & equalization voltages. But it needs sun to work.
The PD is just ok, as it's non-adjustable, non-temp-compensated. Don't think it can do forced equalization. Don't recall how it terminates absorb, but when I forced 14.4V, it just terminated after a fixed ~4hrs. And needs 120VAC.
But if it works for you, that's fine.
I admit, I am spoiled by the Rogue.
