So far the electrolyte is still clear when taking 5 amps at 16v, and in terms of voltage held under discharge, it is thumping its chest and making Gorilla noises, but whether this is a Silver Back with an Aorta ready to blow is not at this point able to be determined.
I'll keep on top of it and keep this thread updated as the fairly deep cycles accumulate.
