Its not "omitting" peak-detection, peak detection does not work with

That was a bad short-hand, menat to cover all chemistries.

Lead acid chargers will at
least use a constant current bulk mode, then hopefully a constant
voltage (or current limited constant voltage) absorption mode and then
maybe a float mode. Working out what many of these RC chargers do from
their marketing datasheets or manuals can be a challenge hard.

Fair comment - and as these things don't have a 'current on' lamp or show
the actual current supplied as opposed to the setting. Its quite possible
mine just shut off without me noticing.

Must see what the Vencon does next time I put an SLA on it.
