Fine, but who is it going to help,....the real technical minded,....that I'm sure know it all already ?
Its not like the average RV'r has control over float voltages.
And IMO, if float voltages were that critical, I'd think the industry would have temp compensation built in all chargers. My battery tender does, but my PD doesn't, neither do all the other maintainers I have around here. And I for one, NEVER have battery trouble, nor do I have any complaints on how long my batteries last, especially the RV batts on the PD 24/365-
But however, I do have voltmeters all over the place, and if I happen to see a meter crowding the hi 13s at 95-105 degs, I just unplug it for a day or 3.
I have very good results w/ batteries just keeping it simple.
But, I'm the weirdo that don't use hydrometers either !!
