Battery Voltage Discrepancies ??
Hello battery experts and fellow nerds :C I have noticed small voltage differences between the three Odyssey PC2150 batteries that make up my "bank". This is after resting with zero load for 24 ho...

Sounds like a pretty sweet setup!
Yeah, AGMs are a little tough on we, the obsessive 12V geeks. But they definitely have their place. And with someone like you, who knows how to treat them, they should give you years and years of good service.
The only problem (besides price) that I see is the one that arises when you do successive 50-90% (or similar) charges without topping. Just like wet cells, the bank will lose capacity due to PCL (Progressive Capacity Loss.) This is likely due to sulfation and the only way (besides pulse tech) to remove it is with a (carefully) controlled overcharge (equalization.)
But what I'm MOST concerned with is the over use of "()" (parentheses) in my post.
If you charge back to 100% each time, then PCL is no factor.
So what kind of inverter use are you employing that takes advantage of the high current capabilities of AGMs?
