Another AGM conditioning question
This is my chassis battery, an agm I got used and have little experience with. Trickle charger failed in storage, it is dead as a doornail. Not covenient to babysit it for long hours on meanwell or...

Here comes the cake analogy
325 F for 45 minutes
195 F for seven hours
2,400 F for 6 minutes
Only one even remotely works. It's a cruel hard world. Electrochemical tolerates few cheaters. High voltage thresholds are just that - yes or no.
Same for duration. Too much time at the correct threshold works NOT. Neither insufficient time nor excessive time is correct. Aren't batteries cranky? I wish I could re-write the rules. Boy there would be a lot of changes.
A way has to be found to accommodate the little monsters. I have to put up with the same nonsense. It's either that or put up with a monster battery budget.
I ran out of bottled gas yesterday. Just as the pot of Barilla was starting to simmer. "Cover the hot water" I yelled. And let it sit on the stove for a half hour.
Mmmmmmm...chewy raw pasta. I ended up nuking small bowls about an hour and a half's worth. One bowl was nuked too long Mmmmmmmm, rubber bands on top, porridge on the bottom.
An eternity at 14.40 will not convince those AGMs to obey and straighten up. Bite the bullet and arrange to kiss their *** using the Lifeline formula. Any AGM exhibiting loss of capacity should see a conditioning exercise. Follow the directions. I've seen too many successful recoveries to be swayed.
I scorch the air blue when I am forced to pound-a-peg do calisthenics.The alternative is to cheat a customer, or cheat myself and that's even less palatable than jumping jacks or deep knee thrusts.
It's a choice between money or a several hour hassle...
