BATTERY TEMP FLOAT VOLTAGE CHARTS NEEDED
FOR FLOODED LEAD ACID FOR RUN OF THE MILL AGM FOR LIFELINE one post three charts needs to be a STICKY por favor. Cannot do it with this cellular...

Eighty degrees F provides a poor reference point. Batteries love to be stored fully charged at 35F. I have this little tickle at the nape of my neck that is suggesting battery OEM have done little if any lifespan testing at 160F. Various manufacturers have posted data all over the map regarding high temperature lifespan. Some of it is outright absurd.
A flooded CYCLABLE lead acid battery should not receive voltage higher than 12.9 at temperatures of 50C 122F. No charging. None. Zero. The risk of warping pasted grids is too high. For years, Land Rover used 1.250 SG acid in their batteries bound for Africa.
Yet we read, we see, we hear of no crisis, about auto battery lifespan in the US southwest. If you believe manufacturer propaganda, that theoretical commute in Phoenix would eat a dozen alternators and six batteries a year per car. Scooze me but I detect a noxious odor emanating from lot of hyperbole. Some applications engineers and Technical Writers obviously have too much free time on their hands.
