Six-tenths of a volt. Automotive charging system alternator voltage regulator. .6 volts is to me at least, not a tweak. All the batteries installed in California Highway Patrol vehicles, have failed, especially the ones in the Antelope Valley, Mojave desert, Palm Springs, et al. Muse the fact these batteries operate at 120+ degrees. Aircraft voltage variances are even sloppier. The "failure" note is pure 100% sarcasm.
Absorbed Glass Mat batteries are a lot more forgiving than you may think. I.E. not wise to spend five hundred dollars trying to extend battery life by six months.
I wonder how many folks on this forum have AGM batteries in their automobiles? Temperature-wise an RV battery is molly-coddled. If AGM batteries were that sensitive to voltage, manufacturers would go broke replacing automotive warranty items.
I am just trying to get folks to ponder logic and not go off the rails over this. Find an AGM warranty that is voided if installed underhood in an automobile.
