I have done some 10 hr capacity load tests on these T-1275s using their 20hr rate. Last time it took 9 hours to get down from full to 50% (as measured after the test using voltage and SG) and AH capacity came to 270ish out of 300 (by Trimetric) rated on the pair (150 each) so that would be 270/300 = 90%. (matches the 9hrs out of 10 too) 2.5 year old batteries.
Looks like I can float them and by that suffer antimony poisoning or else not float them and get sulfation setting in from their voltage dropping too fast (when SG catches up falling). The only way out of this is to do neither and just go camping and never come back! :)
