PD9245 and Lifeline GPL-31XT testing
I just acquired a Progressive Dynamics PD9245 converter to specifically charge a New Lifeline AGM GPL-31Xt at 125AH capacity. I tested the converter tonight on a different battery, and saw Voltages...

How much difference is there in float voltage claimed between the two brands? Whatever it is, differentiating between identical chemistries is borderline asinine.
David ... I've seen you post many times about proprietary secret sauce paste mixtures, varying amounts of calcium, different purities of lead, etc..
You mean none of those, and other, parameters has anything to do with lower or higher float voltages causing lower or higher internal leakage currents causing different amounts of internal heating ... which in turn causes more or less water vapor dissipation and hence more or less drying out of different brands/designs of AGM batteries ... hence giving rise to lower or higher recommended float voltages?
I didn't major in chemistry, but those long equations that had to be balanced on both sides seemed to include a lot of variables to fool around with.
