Got another one today so that makes two :)
About the first one---
"The AGM is brand new out of the box
http://www.hespv.ca/hesproductspecs/HES/Stark_Battery_TD_ENG.pdf
Out of the box voltage was 12.82. Dated July this year (I think) did an initial charge and left overnight voltage today 12.89 very slowly still going down--can't wait, do the tests! "
This second one was dated November and out of the box was at 12.96v. I put the Vector on it and it lasted a few seconds and said full. Now sitting at 13.02 (in the "full" zone on the spec sheet.)
Meanwhile, the first one has been on a 13.7 Float since October and disconnected a few hours it still reads 13.6v.
I cannot charge up either battery with the Vector--it says they are full and won't budge. With a Flooded it would run it up to 14.x volts and then quit. So these AGMs are different it sems. Whatever, we should be good to go for some tests later on, when I get the chance. Will post results for general entertainment if nothing else. :)
BTW gottaluv the "Canada tough" advertising. The box says, "Made in China" and the same battery is sold in the States under various brand names. :)
