I can measure volts, look at current going in, or look at amp-hours. If volts says 12.83V (after surface charge wears off), current is zero, or amp-hour meter says 100% SOC, a quick dip of the hydrometer calls them all liars. On goes the B&D or manual charger. Maybe it just doesn't matter and I'm just anal. :)
What may be disputed is whether you are really getting to full every day on regular solar even when it seems like you are. I say no based on my own experience as measured for real (as described in other posts)
