- If any two cells in one battery have a .15, that's point one five difference between the highest and lowest cell, it's due to be equalized
Do you mean .15 difference (I.E. 1.275 - .15 = 1.125) or do you mean .015 (I.E. 1.275 - .015 = 1.260)?
FWIW - Trojan says '...if the specific gravity value of any individual cell varies 30 points or more...' which I presume would be .030, correct? East Penn says '...or a wide-ranging specific gravity between batteries (0.030) after being fully charged...'
I'm finding confusion on decimal points on various sources - for example East Penn also says '... If the variation between the highest and lowest cell reading in any one battery is .50 (50 points gravity) or more, it is a good indication that it has a failing cell.' But 1.275 - .50 = .775, which clearly is impossible, so their published doc must be wrong. I'm sure they mean .050, not .50.
