With a/c charging "close" isn't good enough. A little low is OK but not optimal. But if you over-charge by just 10%, efficiency of the system drops by 40%. It really does need to be exactly the correct amount, something that's impossible with the $20 DIY kit.

This is one of those things I pays my $ for a professional to do it.
