Costco GC2 Batts
Well, One of my 4 year 4 month old GC2s from Costco just coughed up a cell during a cold Coast camp trip!! Sure I could buy another $86 Batt,, but I would still have a 4+ year old one.. Ordered two ...

Pretty sure I am going to order the 30a Megawatt. Most of my charging will be from 75 SOC or higher so a higher amp charger probably just wasted money.
The interstate specs are for 14.4v bulk charge and 15.3v absorption. Shall I just set the megawatt to 15.3v and charge until the current tapers to 20a? (my bank is 208ah).
Would setting it to 14.4v during bulk be any better for the batteries? In reality aren't the voltage settings for bulk and absorb always the same?
My goal is to set the Megawatt voltage and not jack with it. During the summer all charging will likely be from my solar which is temp compensated. Periodic equalization will also be done with solar.
