BFL, you should familiarize yourself with MPPTs over $99 :)...
Yes, stages in controllers are (normally) described by voltage, and so they are in batteries.
But this is not the end of it. Controller with a good firmware will have voltage-based transition, current-based transition, going back and forth btw Float and Bulk if needed, periodic sweep etc etc. Bogart controller is using Bogart monitor firmware and data for this purpose.
Staying awake wouldn't help me even with a gallon of coffee and a healthy doze of uppers, since there is no way to tell what my black box of AGM is actually doing on each one of its respective stages. I'm satisfied with the net result and with the fact that I don't have to take much effort to make sure that controller does what it's supposed to. In difficult sun conditions it would be different.
