My Screwy 31
First off let me say I am not stressing over this. It's just a battery, it is only money, it is meeting my overnight needs, but it is displaying strange behavior, and I am curious as to why. So th...

Yeah the voltage drop under load is not an issue, except in My OCD brain. I think the only thing in my System that would be effected by low voltage would be the compressor fridge at 10.7v. I almost never use my 400watt PSW inverter, and my 800 watt MSW is sitting in Storage, and I do not envision my power needs changing much, if at all anytime soon.
Please don't think I'm sitting here chewing my nails over this battery, stressing over it.
I'm Just trying to share my Data, results and hoping to learn more and make better decisions in the future. If this helps others to make better choices, then that is fine and dandy too.
Todays EQ session was a long one. I had the time to sit around and monitor it every half hour for 2 minutes, because I do not want to have to subject myself to Memorial day holiday crowds, but I don't want to spend 4 hours every week, or every two weeks to do it. Guess I could just start it a few hours before the shade sets in and forgo the SG checks, but I'd like to have some confidence the daily charging regimen can allow a X hour EQ sesh to do it.
So if a 14.7ABSV and a 15.3F makes it into a half hour procedure every two weeks then whohoo.
If A 15.3v ASAP for ALAP daily regimen is required, well at what point is that just too aggressive in terms of positive plate shedding? If the goal is to get a useful lifespan out of this thing, I'm just looking for the regimen that requires the least effort for an acceptable lifespan of this petulant jar.
About recharging from a 50%, I agree. I know lead acid batteries supposedly have no memory, but something about taking them down to 50% and feeding them at a high bulk rate is like a slap across the face of a lazy battery that is then afraid to misbehave for a period thereafter.
Thing is I really have to be trying to be wasteful to bring it down to 50% overnight in the summer. Wintertime is easier.
