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...

The reading on the float was 1.270, the reading on the thermometer on the base of the Hydrometer was saying to add 18.
I was able to feel the heat coming off the hydrometer.
The amps it was taking at the voltage setpoints were higher than I am used to seeing.
The vigorousness with with it was bubbling was much increased.
I only applied 16v for about 20 minutes max before dipping and saw the 1.270+18.
The difference from all previous observations in this thread, was using the Schumacher, and starting the recharge cycle with a lower initial SOC. Previous readings were all from solar alone taking it to float voltage, and then solar alone taking it to 16v or whatever EQ voltage I chose throughout the progress of this thread.
Overall last night voltage dropped no lower than normal and seems to be accepting normally expected amperages to hold 14.9v as I type this.
No schumacher assist today, just solar.
