Another battery question:
I have flooded lead-acid batteries, so-called "Marine" dual-use (starter + deep-cyle) type (current generation is from Costco). For 99% of the time they are being charged entirely by solar. However, I do have a ProNautic P series battery charger installed and I occasionally use it, when I do have a land power connection.
Now this is definitely not a life-or-death question but I since I have the fancy charger, I want to use it right. It has 2 Profiles for flooded batteries (plus profiles for all kinds of other battery chemistries). They are as follows:
Profile 1: 14.8 VDC 12.8-13.6 VDC
Profile 2: 14.7 VDC 12.8-13.4 VDC
where the first number is the 'Conditioning VDC' and the second is the 'Auto Maintain VDC Range'
The differences are not huge but which is the better one for my batteries? And what is the other profile for?
