Mex, nothing is ever simple to simple folks! :)
I think you want to compare the amp hours taken to get from say 12.5 to 14.4 using straight amps and time (or a "corrected" Trimetric AH figure taking out their heat factor) with some sort of standard amount that it should take?
We are looking for an unusual heat loss amount?
The low charging amps (1-3amps) for the test is to preclude voltage "spiking" on start-up so you get a smooth rise in voltage?
EDIT--thanks for the article explaining antimony poisoning.
