BFL13,
I thought it was 75 amps max for the new battery? i.e. 0.3 c? 250 x 0.3 = 75?
Or should you use the 237 amp-hours for capacity?
The ESG link (My battery says ESG on it) says "under 100 amps" for a cycle use recharge at 14.1 to 14.4 volts. See that link in the OP of my thread) The similar(same?) battery with the other brand name says 0.3CA. later in another link. Whatever! :)
I am not too clear on the "overcharge" requirements though. It has various names.
After a few incomplete cycles with a Wet batt, you can't just charge it to zip amps and go to Float. The SG will not be up where it belongs.
So what about an AGM same situation? You can't check the SG. Do you just give it an overcharge anyway? How long? ( that one link says 14.8 for four hours) but that is not much of a higher voltage from 14.4 like 15.5 or somesuch as for a Lifeline "recondition". If you leave it at 14.4 extra time, past when amps get down to 0.5/100AH does that count as an "overcharge"?
