I was informed by Mr. Gibson that when charging and the SG reading 100% it
was not actually fully charged but needed to continue charging until the
charge rate had dropped to (I can't remember but I think it was about 4 amps
and continue for a certain length of time that I can't remember either).
The problem is that when using the engine to charge the batteries it is
impractical to aim for full charging each time.
I now look forward to Mr. Gibson rising from the depths of Canalworld Forums
and explain yet again that I am so wrong and a complete idiot to boot :-)
