[QUOTE="blisters, post: 230659, member: 4992"] Is the 12.8 at rest after being disconnected for some time? That would be ok. Get yourself some deep cycle batteries as cranking batteries will stuff up quickly if discharged. You might be seeing that with the Delco. If it gets a sulphate layer from discharging then it is more resistant to charge so a small charge current creates a higher voltage on the charger so it finishes. But the battery is not charged. Normally max charge rate is around 10% of the capacity for lead acid (capacity/8) but AGM can go 400% (capacity*4). You should be able to get the specs from the manufacturers web site. Make sure you don't discharge the battery more than what's recommend by the manufacturer as you'll reduce the number of charge cycles. You could monitor the battery voltage with a multimeter.
