Flooded Batteries on Float
It's been mentioned that flooded batteries just keep accepting amps seemingly forever whereas AGM's will stop accepting amps when they're full. Don't know if it's true or not but I can say that my bat...

Sooo, have we yet discussed our way through whether or not wet LA battery cells ever come up against a hard stop on current flow whenever they reach full charge - within Joe-Blow ammeter accuracies, that is??
I'm still not satisfied as to why I heard gurgling years ago in my good old fully charged wet cells and the EL Cheapo Sears trickle charger's analog needle still showed some small current flow ... while my AGMs don't. I suspect that the + and - ions in a liquid leak more than the + and - ions in a powder.
BTW, does one really need 12.00 volts + - .01 volts guaranteed ... or is 12.00 volts + - .01 volts not guaranteed good enough for camping?
(Of course I can't imagine what the boys in the Big Green Box building that used to be in Mountain View would think that they need in the + - world. I do know that for testing and measuring the large ICBM rocket engines' burn performance that my team used to do in the desert in the AF, we had some resistors and voltmeters that took a lot of taxpayers money to "correctly" measure little tiny strain-gage currents.)
