BFL13,
Thanks for the tidbit about PD dropping down to 13.6 volts at 97% SOC. When I had the large marine battery bank (875 amp-hours) it would take days and days to drop to 13.2, even with the solar contributing to charging.
The 97% is approximate of course. Can't remember where I got that info from several years back.
In general I remember reading that the Absorption Stage has to be ended somehow or it will go to infinity, so they put the artificial cut-off into the chargers.
AFAIK the drop from 13.6 to 13.2 has a different protocol to do with battery activity during the 13.6.
On Interstate 6s, yes there are two sizes same as Trojan has, and probably Costco is selling the smaller size same as they did before when Interstates were US Battery with a 208 size and a 232.
