Well, the voltage is not to high for floodeds, and I bet the amps above 150v are pretty low. Someone who better knows the Zivan programs should be listened to first, but it doesn't sound like a bad match. Zivans are known to be programmed to overcharge, and floodeds need (and can take) more of that than Optimas. Neon
