Fred, Not a design glitch IMHO - there is no way that Elecraft can redesign the float voltage for an SLA battery!! plus: I for one would not eliminate the series protective diode, so unless someone comes up with a protective diode with zero voltage drop, we just have to deal with those two parameters.
One can always just connect whatever power supply voltage that is available and accept the results. The battery will have some level of charge with a 13.8 volt supply connected, but it will never come up to full capacity charge. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > Sounds like an Elecraft design glitch!
