Top Charge Question
Well it's been 33 days since I've seen hookups. The 245 watts of solar gets the Trimetric into the positive AH from full most days. Specific gravity has dropped. A couple of cells to 1250, and a ...

Unfortunately a formula must be used. 5% of amp hour rating in amperes until voltage rises to 15.0
For 6 of your cells, 11-amps constant current would be appropriate. But top charging is designed to minimize sulfation not undo it. Equalization is needed. So continue on to 16.0 volts if need be. This means 11-amps at 15.8 volts should going that high be necessary. This is where most apparatus falls flat on it's face.
That'sa nice, but I have what I have which is a 30 amp MegaWatt. It goes to 15.3 period.
Experience says that it will push less than 5 amps into fully charged bank, gently bubble and raise the SG.
