@FilterGuy - your thought experiment is correct to a point. You are so close!! but take it a step further ...
Btw, my 40A Tekpower rockes. So light and quiet. Efficient enough not to blow out an ac outlet. Dig it.
So, as you mentioned, you drop down to 0.013C tail current in your thought experiment with a 0.1C rate to begin with. Ok, not the end of the world.
What I'm saying is that if you START OUT at "tail current" levels, like 0.013C (1.3A for your 100ah batt) then your battery will reach full charge at 3.45V. Even though your TekPower is set to 3.65v, a stall seems to occur near 3.45v because you are simply done. Anything else is overcharge due to starting out so low in current. Here, the clock is simply ticking too long.
If you have a spare cell laying around, and have the time, try it!
