I just got back from the shop, and was surprised to find that the Magnum charge cycle had finished in just about 3 hours.

In rough numbers, what we got for charging from 80% down, to fully charged...

Avanti's excellent information with his charging curve got us inspired to see what we really will have happening in a full discharge situation. It wasn't truly a worst case, as it wasn't horribly...

I assume that the temperature throttling would be coming from the Balmar, and not the internal of the alternator? I wonder if the internal temp reductions that are built into the alternator are...

Excellent information!

It looks like your batteries are behaving very similarly to what we are seeing.

You gained about 150+ah in the first hour, to get to about 70% SOC, and then the amps...
