TRICKLE CHARGE. Different than float maintenance. 1-3 amp continuous chargers used to be common. The term should be scrapped from battery nomenclature, and instructions re-written
David, maybe the proper term should be TRICKLE TRYING TO CHARGE.
When moving from the liquid battery world into the AGM battery world the situation is different. Once my RV batteries are fully charged, I've not found any charger voltage that will continue to drive 1-3 amps continuous into them. They just sit there refusing to accept any more current.
Maybe it takes bubbling battery liquid in order to sit there and absorb 1-3 amps continuously?
(On it's "2 AMP" setting - my ancient Sears charger is only trying to be a trickle charger when hooked up to our RV's AGM batteries.)
