Greg - have done all battery and earths recently, so still back to the fact that the other charging threshold must be too low.
Ok, well I was planning to purchase an accumate tonight but happened to drive past Lidl on way home, and for 13.99 rather than 54 quid, was worth trying! Wish I'd brought the battery back with me, so now have to wait to play again.
Having studied the details, I find that the Lidl one actually says that 6V defaults it to program 1 only, which is recommended for batteries of less than 14Ah and is 0.8A. The two ampages which will be seen on this 6V program are thus 0.8 and 0.1... rather than 5, 3, 0.8 and 0.1 on 12V programs.
I've emailed Accumate about the precise details of how theirs charge, as its not in the literature online other than "1.2A".
Do I assume that the advisory Ah level is solely down to practicality i.e. its just going to take a hell of a lot longer? Or Is there some need for high current strength to start off the process? Initial desulphation appears to be done at 0.8A.
