This is all about VARIABLES and GRADIENTS
No, 13.71 volts is NOT an appropriate AGM float voltage for 35c. Nor is it recommended for 5c like it was here on the Baja California peninsula this morning.
Mena, is going to be boondocking when I am strumming a harp (or shovelling coal). My sdvice is to keep things in perspective. Some of you are fervent believers in playing the temperature compensation like it is a Stradavarius. It's more like a Yamaha violin.
When the battery goes with me to Michoacan, I will yawn and stick a 75-amp schottky rectifier inline and drop the voltage. But I'm not going to jump out of the toad and do it the moment I arrive. Areas where temps vary 40F or more are need T.C. But I woukd not get a case of diarrhea if the battery had to endure , 3 - ,4 volts deviation + - from "optimum". Temperature compensation is important but keep it in perspective.
