Voltage rose very quickly from 14 to 14.4 so no readings in there, but at least amps have stopped going up and down. Might mean we are at Absorption Stage for start of that two hours. Nope it went up to 14.5 (no load), not there yet?
Ambient is about 23C, so Vabs should be at the nominal 14.6 though. Whatever!
Do the laptop, only load on inverter.
14.44, yank, spike 14.57 drop back to 14.45, plug in 14.29 back up to 14.45.
Do the light, laptop still on.
typical of several:
14.44- 13.83 and +10.0 and -1.5 is 0.61/11.5a = 0.053 Wow! can that be right iaw Salvo's graph? Somebody check that please.
Tri now at -13.8 AH out of 458 if it does not need a reset--
SG is 1.275 in all cells at the start (?) of this Absorption Stage. My baseline SG is higher so we'll check that again later--there is SG lag here.
I don't understand the voltages wrt SOC in Salvo's graph and what I am getting. My SOC was maybe 86% this morning and maybe 97% now just starting Absorption.
