perhaps it is voltage controlled. The voltage rises to end of bulk and then current drops to prevent exceeding that voltage When you initiate a recharge cycle it quickly raises to absorb and then goes to float. this sounds like normal operation. Repeate the test when the battery is discharged and see if the behavior is the same.

I'm having issues with the internal battery charger timer. I can't get any exact info on the amount of time this should run. I'm pretty sure it based on battery amp hrs, but unclear if it also has a amp part as well. The issue is that it seems to stop charging with high amps still going into the batts, and then if you reinitiate another charge cycle it pretty much goes straight to float instead of continuing bulk. Any comments on this one? thanks, jay peltz power _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Home Power magazine List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Options & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Home Power magazine List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Options & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org
