May 27, 2009 #2 PeterKsiazek Electrical Jan 15, 2009 27 0 0 CA The voltage level and type of charging, constant current, constant voltage, pulsed housekeeping, et cetera is very dependant on cell type. Even a 'small' change from vented lead acid to gell cell requires a change in voltage. Li-ion has a very different cell voltage than lead acid. The list is endless. Upvote 0 Downvote
