Figured I would run a different thread here as I have identified concerns in several chargers that just do not limit the voltage in the topping stage. I recently used my old school 6A charger to top a few batteries and went to check the voltage as they finished up and were hitting 15.6V! I have seen this exact same issue with brand new "smart" chargers! FLA will tolerate some of this, but I doubt AGM will.
Anyone know of some decent bench and/or mountable chargers that are good? I know all my solar chargers get right down to business on this, but I find bench type chargers to mostly be BS! I ordered 2 Schumacher chargers a couple yrs ago and sent them back. Total junk.
So I guess I am looking for chargers that will do an honest voltage cap on bulking, and actually roll back to float like they should.
As for batteries, I have everything from 6V to 48V demands, but mostly in the 12-36V range is what I am looking at right now. Not as worried about the big amp chargers, just want to charge without killing a battery!
