To the OP ...
FYI here's an East Penn VRLA Tech Manual you might want to read through if you're at all interested in EP non-flooded batteries. It's pretty clear that temperature corrected charging (which your new PD9270 does not offer) is a requirement as far as East Penn is concerned. Personally, I'd be looking for similar documentation that relates to any other make / model of battery you may be interested in before making any battery purchase. For example, AFAIK Trojan calls for a bulk charge rate of 14.8 volts which your new PD doesn't do, in which case you would have wanted to buy the 14.8 volt version.
