Seems the benefit of using % charge would go out the window if your batteries
were sulphated....just when you would need the voltage based/temp
comp logic the most. No experience with your proposal
though.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Input appreciated.
<DIV><SPAN class=Apple-style-span><BR></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV>How well does the Pentametric work as a generator control. The spec sheet
states a control relay based on % charged is available. Any experience using
the Pentamatic as a gen start control. Does this yield better battery control
than voltage based approach?
<DIV><SPAN class=Apple-style-span><BR></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=Apple-style-span>Thanks for any field experience on this
control.
