Lying again wayne? You really just can't help yourself can you.

What I said was:

Yes I have set the charge higher a
whole .5 of a volt.

You really should learn to pay attention. I did not mention the float
voltage which is set to 15 V. This extends the absorption time. Six
hours is the recommended for the suncycle range @ 25C @ per
cell. So, this being the case 15V is a whole .3 of volt higher than
recommended. But then my batteries are at less than 25C.

And what it actually says about float charging on P10 is:

When cells are operated with no load or light loads (less than 5%
daily depth of
discharge) the best method of charge is constant voltage float charge.

This does not describe my systems operation. My daily DOD is %.

What it says about absorption charge is:

Most regulators are set to rise to a certain voltage/cell and then cut
out. The batteries
benefit from having an absorption time when the voltage cut-out point
is reached.
The most efficient setting for Suncycle batteries is between /
cell.
There needs to be an allowance for temperature compensation. An
increase of
5mV/DegC should also be allowed for, . at 35=BAC, the setting/cell is
50mV lower than
at 25=BAC. If regulators are set at much lower values, . /cell
or for a 12V
system then the capacities and gravities in the bank will slowly fall.
Within the range, the regulator setting should be adjusted
according to the
average amount of energy used on a daily basis, . if 30% of the 10H
rate is used then
a regulator setting of is set, if 10% is used a value of is
set

It appears that you have not got a clue. Again.
