Amps jumping around on AGM finishing charge
At a battery temp of 81 degrees and a float charge of 13.33v, the charge was settling in toward .1 A when it started jumping around more and more. Still settling, but jumping from .02a to .15a. The ...

I suspect outgassing below the venting level is as good for AGMs as it is for flooded batteries...in moderation. But it's a tightrope to walk.

What is the payback for walking the high voltage tightrope?
How many years life can you gain opposed to how many you stand to lose?
I trust my Morningstar controllers to maintain my AGMs unattended. I have never heard any of the sounds of internal gassing or vent gassing, and I don't ever intend to! :)
I have never seen zero Amps in any charging tests. I don't believe 100% fully charged is a necessary/affordable goal. When Amps are below 1% of AH20, I consider my AGMs charged enough.
