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...

Actually it has been significantly warmer on average here than it was in July, even overnight.
But I can certainly notice the reduction in solar haul, and I have not been babying the battery at all. I've been just hammering it, not giving any consideration to conservation. So that could be a factor in the higher amperages needed to hold 14.9 and 15.3. Some days there is not enough haul to hold 14.9v long enough, much less bring it to 15.3v, and whike i can tell via voltage that it did not spend enough time at ABSV and finish, it is not tanking either, like it did when new and only getting 14.5 ABSv and 13.2 float and rarely an EQ.
Tonight it will be floating though, and it is time to hammer the AGM instead and see how it likes the cheapowatt.
