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...

Guess I could switch my Stock vehicle loads to the 31 turn on my 2 sets of halogen fog lamps, front and back for 2 hours, that should be right around 65 Amp hours before Peukert is factored in.
I have one or two fixtures I could put an Incandescent bulb back into, but I think I only have 168's or 194's handy and they are like .5 amps iirc
If we get the predicted all day marine layer next week, I'll be down to 50% at day 2 or 3 or 4 depending on its thickness.
plug in an inverter, and plug in a 120V 100 watt incandescent light bulb. That's good for probably 9-10 amp hours.
Next battery for you needs to be an AGM, you get far better results with them, so it seems, and far less research and headaches to get them topped off.
I am not afraid at all to put 15.0V to my T-1275 to top charge, and 16.0V to equalize it, all of course temp compensated.
1. Because Mex said so on the 16.0V to equalize and
2. Because I've seen it work and do what it is supposed to on a group 24 DC and two T-1275's that I got for free. It's the free part only, that allows my frugalness to put up with the baby sitting antics they need. A pro golf shop doesn't have time for such nonsense. I make the time to do it, but at some point, it will reach the laws of diminishing returns.
