Floating vs Storage Voltage Question
Moved this from another thread to open the topic generally. Question was if PD converters with the 13.2 storage voltage were compatible with floating voltage specs at 13.5 and above. ---------------...

Interesting about that US Battery float voltage for flooded at 2.17 per cell. Their AGM is 2.23
Meanwhile Trojan is at 2.25 for both types, and East Penn (Deka) is at 2.24-2.26 for AGM and 2.30-2.35 (13.8-14.10v) for flooded.
Seems they all agree on AGMs but are all over the map for flooded batts.
We have had many posts about how 13.8 is too high and how you have to keep adding water at that voltage, saying 13.2 is required to stop that. But the battery specs are as above for 77F.
EDIT--Note that Trojan says not to float floodeds if they are used more than once a week, but say for AGMs it is if they are used more than once a month.
