Which has many problems.

NOTE: COMPLETE battery charge is NOT achieved until battery has charged for 15 hours.
It gives a green light after around 4 to 7 hours. Which meansyou can use it. But it IS NOT CHARGED. That takes as it correctly statesaround 15 hours to 20 hours. Why? Because it stops te CV stage too soon. And relies on float to complete the charge. But nobody bothers to wait 15 hours, so they get up and use the chair since it says "green" and done on the charger! This causes rapid sulfation. So insteadof great range and 500 cycles you get a fraction of this.
SPECIFICATIONS:
Output Voltage
AGM
CV DC 29.6V +/- 0.2V
FLOAT 27.3V +/- 0.4V
Somewhere there is a switch on this charger internally or externally or it is programmed one way or another.
This is its AGM voltages. Both a fraction too high for AGM, and simpy miles too high for gel. Be sure you dont use this on gel!
If its configured for gel:
GEL
CV 28.6V +/- 0.2V
FLOAT 26.7V +/- 0.4V
FLOAT is OK aslong as it doesent do that 0.4v too high thing! (not accurate enough) but the CV absorption stage os MUCH too high. It needs to be 28.2 MAX and actually 26.9 ideally if you expect a long service life. And theres an MK chart below showing the effect of overvoltage on MK Gel batteries (all gel batteries actually). And if its above 25C you must reduce that further. See graph.
Or your battery will be increasing in impedance and unable to produce high currents due to gel shrinkage and voids caused by gassing.
