The serious commercial chargers have a deltaI/deltat (current vs
temperature) alogorithm to detect when electrolysis of the electrolyte
begins to occur. Failing that, a Pout vs Pin alogorithm is next best. Both
these make for an expensive controller which is hard to justify in domestic

It seems to me that you really need to have a controller that
monitors the state of charge in order to do a good job of recharging
sealed batteries. If they are low then you can push the voltage up
but if they are in an intermediate indeterminate state as with most
small renewable energy syste
I suggest that high rate recharge could be safely done but only with a
charge algorithm more sophisticated than what is commonly found in renewable
energy gear.
The chargers typically found in our industry deliver the same "bulk" charge
amperage from initiation of the recharge all the way to when
Peter,
The DEKA charging manual that I have been working from for their sealed
batteries (AGM and Gel) quote 30% of C20.
And
.DEKAs literature also has a maximum charging voltage of 2.35 VPC.
Not sure about the other brands.
Thanks,
Walt

HI Peter,
I don't know of any sealed that go above the 14.4v/12v setpoints.
And most I've seen a 14.2 ish.
That said I have seen eq recommendations for industrial sealed, but
with very controlled conditions.
above 14.4 it will start to gas just like a wet battery.

Hi Peter,
At least some AGM's (like the Concorde) can handle very aggressive charging
rates, provided you have good temperature compensation to reduce the
possibility of a thermal runaway.
Also the 14.6 VDC is a little higher than recommended, at least for the
Concorde brand. 14.4 VDC (2
