Battery monitor pricing
I understand the need for a battery monitor - certainly the analogy of monitoring your fuel level via a fuel pressure gauge strikes home (although it's a little bit off). I want to get one. What I ...

To be more clear. the charge Volts are 14.3 +/- temp comp and the float Volts are 13.3 +/- temp comp. The 500ma is based on charge Volts.
John ... as you mentioned in one of your posts above ... that is for Lifeline AGM batteries.
Those guidelines are different for my current Fullriver AGM batteries, and were probably different for my former Interstate AGM batteries. FWIW, I bought my recent Fullriver AGM batteries instead of Lifelines specificallty because of the difference in recommended float voltages between the two AGM brands.
I am not currently familiar with the Full River specs. Can you substitute your Full River's charge and float Volts for the Lifeline's I posted, or are there other material differences?
I quoted Lifeline as an example in support of your observation that AGMs approach zero Amps at the end of charging. Also, I believe that there is not a great need for AH 'fuel gauge' type meters if you can observe near zero Amps during charging.
