I am not sure what charger has been set to, but to take advantage of the lead crystals, I suggest the following:
 - Absorption voltage ideally should be a little higher than normal and should be about 58.4V
 - Float would be 55.2V
 - Turn off "storage mode"
 - Absorption time: 6 hours unless proper temperature compensation has been configured and the battery enclosure/setup ensures that the batteries have all surfaces within a couple of degrees of each other. If the thermal aspects have been addressed, the absorb time can be lengthened without significant increase in battery degradation risk.


Hi Andre,

Just to say thanks again, I checked the specs of my lead crystal batteries and I did make some adjustments to the figures you provided.

Appreciate the input.

Cheers,
Martin.

Hi, Martin thanks for the value infomation that you share freely with all of us. Your video alum vs acid, had help me a lot. Y want to add my 2 cents here.
I made an experiment casting 4 round lead plates in my kitchen and putting that to test with alum as electrolyte. So here I leave the link to my videos. http://youtu.be/2MLr9AE7jSU

P.S. Sorry for my awful english I live in México, and don't have much opportunity to practice.
Cheers and Saludos.

Hi Ricardo,

Hats off to you for the experiment and the end result, I thinks it's great.

No problem with your written or spoken English either.

Keep up the good work.

Cheers,
Martin.
