Battery Storage Charge Profile
Well I've gone and done it. I pulled my group 27 marine yesterday evening to move it to the boat in preparation to catch some spec's ahead of the storm blowing in today. I use this battery on my troll...

Thanks for the reply RoyB but I'm not sure this answers my question.
My concern is stratification and scaling. As mentioned, I have been applying a 13.6V - 13.8V charge (whatever the WFCO feels like doing that day) for 2 days and removing it for 5 days and repeat. I would equalize them about every 6 months or so. This seemed to work fine for years but I don't know of a method to gauge or quantify stratification or scaling. It appeared to not be an issue with this profile.
Would a 1 hour on 23 hour off profile cause long term issues with stratification or scaling? Or anything else?
How long does your last GP24 battery in your radio room go between charges?
