Load test results.
Ran this test at 20 V 1 amp for several days. The time spacing is about 5 -6 hours each charge then 30 min at 3 amps draw. The charger is never disconnected from the battery. Using the Jetijs charger setup.
Some observations...
It was interesting after a day of just sitting of being fully charged the battery shot up to 17V at the very start.
It seems the best charge the battery had was at the start, the straighter the line of the load the more energy that is in the battery.
Looks like need to get the charge times more consistent as it is hard to compare and see if the battery is getting better with different charge times.
I may increase the load time till it goes down even lower, I might increase the load to 5 amps to match what is seen with the commercial radiant charger. ( down to 8V )
