I know, a full battery reads 12.8 open circuit but ...

Ok, there are graphs galore that show open circuit voltages for condition vs voltage. My question is: "What readings do you see on you panel with a moderate load?" Let's say you're boondocking...

If I had a nickle for every day my battery monitor indicated my batteries were at 100%.

By the end of the week, I'd have 35 cents.

Yet, On that 7th day, I need to hold the battery at 16v for an hour or more before the Specific gravity readings rise to the Max.

With battery charging,
Beware of the blinking green light.
Full of warm and Fuzzies.....
Signifying.....little.
