This is all normal when charging flooded lead acid batteries. Moreover, sulfation is reversed during charging, not created, so how bulk charging a pair of 6 volt gc-2's at 80 amps will increase sulfation is a complete and utter mystery to me???
Call it what you like... lost capacity is sulfation in my book.
Nothing wrong with this routine as long as you also disclose the downside.
Charging a battery is not the same as winding a spring or filling a bucket.
