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...

Another cycle on the 31. Took 32AH from it last night
I set Max solar voltage to 14.
The battery heated up, from the bottom up. The hottest part of the battery is at the bottom of the weakest outside cell on the (-) side at 92F.
The range is 78 to 92f on the bottoms of all cells, 73.5 to 75f on the tops of the cells.
The asphalt below the battery is 68F and has been shaded all morning to now, so the heating is entirely charging related.
ATM, it is taking 3.2 amps to hold 14V. 2 hours ago this was 9.8 amps.
Regarding my New battery tray,
I think I've got a pretty good idea how to blow ambient air up from below.
But,
Was wondering how much support a battery requires from below its footprint. I'm trying to force ambient air up from the bottom, around the bottom and all 4 sides, so, through the tray vent holes.
Spilled acid Acid containment will be be at odds with tray ventilation.
Yous guys with the t1275's, have you ever gotten much wetness/dripping after a refill, or from some rough driving?
Trying to design an ultimate battery tray since I'm basically forced to start from scratch. But serious budget constraints are also present at the moment. I doubt I'll have new T-1275 to play with in the next month. I'll cycle the AGM and plug in as much as possible. So I got some time to modify the location to allow the t1275 to fit, and be comfortable in its new home.
Any ideas on a good acid resistant paint for the new battery tray?
I wonder about the Plasti dip spray paint or something similar that would insulate electrically.
