More Solar for "Us"
Ok, I went off.the deep end? Bought 3 used 37watt uni-solar panels and a blue sky 2000e controller for the hefty price of $400, They were being listed as 75w panels, they are not The tested open...

One thing that may apply to what I see /don't see on SG is that on the Vector recondition mode, the battery voltage does not go up while it is happening. Battery voltage IIRC is ? 13v ? steady when it is running for the 24hr recondition cycle. Others may have more accurate info on that.
So it does not charge the battery as such. If 'charging' is making the electrolyte more acidic, then 'reconditioning' ought to raise the battery voltage????
It sure should. And it definitely doesn't.
AFAIK, the charge voltage remains at approximately wherever it was when you started the reconditioning. If you had a surface charge at 13, then if the battery is in decent shape, it will probably stay at around 13.
One of the gang said that reconditioning worked best for him when he had a float charge on at the same time. Otherwise, he said, the voltage could actually drop. Well... I have seen this myself... on a less than perfect, though far from toasted battery.
