Excessive plate erosion is what manufacturers strive to reduce. Acid being acid becomes more robust then regresses to being purely vicious as electrolyte exceeds 40c.
Yes or no? is there a temperature compensated 120 vac converter out there that meets Lifeline or Rolls & Surrette, temperature compensated specs for both bulk and float maintenance? "Dry them out?" Who at Lifeline verbatim declared 13.6 volts WILL DRY OUT A LIFELINE BATTERY? Please furnish a tech rep name? My MEE FINDING of not losing one gram of total unit weight over a period of 18-months makes a mockery of such a statement. Subtle voltage increase over Lifeline's recommended 13.2 - 13.3 volts @ 25c lineraly increase positive plate erosion. Now couple that bit of data with the fact that Lifeline batteries regularly last 5+ years IN UNDER-HOOD AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE. And I freakin' guarantee automotive regulator set points are not 13.2 volts, and I freakin' guarantee under-hood temperatures are not twenty-five degrees Celsius.
Many of you should be asking questions not making statements that defy logic or engineering expertise.
