I remeasured today @ Noon.
Optimas = 108F
MS SS10 = 116F, jumpered at 14.4V
Turnigy Volts = 13.85, result of 116F ambient temp comp by SS-10
I will hook up the Turnigy to get the charging Amps and post around 3PM today.
I still maintain that I have never observed any out-gassing from either the Deka or the AGMs. If my AGMs are damaged, won't that be apparent when I run capacity tests next month?

2PM;
Deployed the Turnigy. There was .30A and 7.75Ap reading. The 0.30A decreased to 0.00A within one minute. That's no, zero, nada mA.
3PM:
One hour readings:
Optimas = 110F
SS10 = 119F
Turnigy = 0.00A, 13.80V, 0.011Ah, 7.75Ap, 0.1Wh
I don't see any danger of outgassing with these readings as there is virtually no power.
For skits and grins, I changed the SS-10 jumper down to 14.1V which resulted in 13.50V, down from 13.80.

It is now 8:53PM. sunset was 8:47PM. Let's call that 6hrs past 3PM.
Optimas 106F
SS-10 109F
Turnigy 0.00A 13.29V 0.011Ah 7.75Ap 0.1Wh
To wrap this up, I took readings this morning at 8 and 11AM. The Turnigy showed no change in Ah or Wh between the readings.
Turnigy = 0.00A, .163Ah, 2.1Wh.
This says that the Optimas were topped up and charging ceased sometime before 8AM. There was (0.163 - 0.011) 0.152Ah of charging this morning.
