After several postings here about how this is the best no-nonsense maintainer for
Pb-acid chemistry I got myself one from Walmart. Model SEM 1562A. I put it
on an Odyssey PC625 and checked the voltages. The unit was charging at 15.6V.
After 3 hrs, the float charge kicked in, hovering around 14.6 volts. Later I believe
I found a review on Amazon from somebody who measured about the same voltages.
What I wanted was 14.6 charge/13.2 float since that was what was reported in this
forum as correct for the chemistry and for this unit. I think the original
units came with a 12/6V switch. This unit (same model number) has a 12/6V automatic
function with no switch. It seems the switch is not the only thing that
has changed.
I'm returning the unit and now will search for something else. Any suggestions?
