I installed a new Trojan 27TMX 12 volt battery. The specs call for a bulk charge voltage of 14.82. My system bulk charges at 14.4 so I asked Trojan Tech Support if it would be appropriate to bulk charge using the DC charging port on my Honda generator then switching to normal saturation at 14.82. Tech said that was entirely proper and if the specific gravity indicated a low charge to take the voltage beyond bulk to equalize at 16.25 volts.
I then asked how often the high bulk charge should take place since my usual charging is with solar. He said 'technically' every time. I figure he should not tell me otherwise.
Since that is not going to happen, I'm wondering what a more convenient timing might be without completely ruining the battery such as every month or so.
