"Yes I have a Cristec charger that offers that crazy voltage too, but have you ever seen a battery manufacturer specify a float that high?"
no but it makes a sort of nonsense out of the "rules" in practise its hard to know for sure what a float voltage is - which is my point.
"I don't know any charger that deliberately limits its current capacity at float voltage as you suggest. It doesn't need to. Float current is small, it doesn't need limiting."
nether do I and NO that's not what I said, this is what I said :
However, the point I am making is that float "charge" is a voltage not a current and most battery chargers will not maintain they're full charging current capability at float voltage so a 3.5 amp charger will hardly show any current at all at float what ever that may set to.
so I think we are in violent agreement
Have a nice day
