I took a trip yesterday down near San Diego, it was twofold. One was to replace my free Trojan T-1275 that was a golf cart reject already when I got it with a pig of a 105# UPS 145ah AGM battery from ...

You have to stop thinking like voltage is directly related to state charge.
It is, but only on a very well rested battery and only when the maximum baseline voltage has been previously noted.
The AGMS in my experience tend to hold onto their surface charge voltage for a ridiculous amount of time
You need to understand that I don't full time... hence my battery rests, a lot. Might be months before I do another big trip again. Or weeks, if I decide instead to go to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.
I'm observant, but not worried, I'll have this battery back in shape again soon enough, fully charged, and not taking on much amps charge rate.
Also understand that I have verified what my RC Watt meter reads, vs what a clamped on amp meter on one cable reads. Pretty close, in my case.
