45 minutes? Does your current draw drop below 3 amps within 45 minutes? It normally takes about 2+ hours on my pack, but it's getting old.
Also don't forget to temperature compensate the charge voltage (does the PFC-20 do this?) On the equalization charge you need to monitor it and keep it up until the current stops falling, depending on pack balance and age this can take a while. It's best to actually watch it rather than assign a fixed time. William Judy wrote: >I need opinions on my charging voltage.
