Hi, Blue Smart replaced all three my 12V/15A chargers. Thanks
@Tomo951

Searching the forums I see many people with the same issue. Their IP65 chargers do not work. They get go straight to absorption, will not charge above 1 amp, will not raise voltage. Voltage actually goes down and battery dies! (because load on battery is using more than 1 amp and charger will not feed more than 1 amp). This is a 15 amp charger. What is going on?
I have messed with the settings. Tried power supply mode (changes nothing). Disable recovery mode, max recondition duration to zero mi…
