DW and I pigged out on amp hours on our last trip to the beach a week ago. According to the Victron, we used 364 Ah in 3 days. Oddly, the Iota did not go right to 14.8V like it did when I first connec...

I used the BD1093 to top off the batteries this time. Only needed to run the EQ on it twice (checking SG after each run) then a connected the Iota for 8 hrs. Checked the SG again and it was right at 1.285 in all cells (58F/14C).
IOTA did not even get to make a full swing at these batteries before the BD went to work. I think it hit 14.6 at some point and when you saw 14.0 it may have dropped to 14.2 absorption. .2 could be the loss in the wire? Or maybe it was still on the way up in bulk. Or bulk timed out. Hard to pinpoint unless you record battery vs converter voltage every 10 minutes.
