So the detail is i have two lead flooded deep cycle 29DC batteries in parallel to power a 1500w convertor only when we have power outages which happens only a handful times a year. The majority of the time these will be floated.
Now i cant seem to find a charger and a maintainer that keeps the voltage at ~13.5v or whatever the the correct float is at a 70f room. I tried the nexpeak nc201 and nc201 pro and both float at 14.2v. I currently have a Schumacher SC1282 hooked up which floats at 12.8v. I contacted Schumacher thinking the charger was defective and they said it is programed to float at 12.8 to 13.2v depending on battety type. From what i read this is way too low but being a name brand charger maybe they know something i dont?
Anyways thoughts on this or recommendations for a wall charger that charges and floats the proper voltage? Thanks.
