[QUOTE="condor22, post: 118177, member: 1932"] Here's another piece of info for you all; My caravan has a 100AH Gel and a 20A smart charger. I ran it down to 75% (25 amps used) Then put it on charge with no loads running. I started at 1220pm, its now 1620pm (4 hours) and the battery is now 92% charged according to my monitor. So the Absorption phase slow down has kicked in. 4 hours for 17% charge and 8% to go. I'll post the total time to 100% when it has happened. This simply states that a 20A smart charger wont recharge 20 amps in 1 hour especially for the last 20% or so of charge. They all do this. [/QUOTE]
