Don, 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.

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? Thanks for any field experience on this control.
