Now that we were finally all in one place - me, Rogue 3048 and my rig - it was time to have some fun. 1)Battery: old starter, tested beyond dead, plates above the water. No wonder, 8 months in Mex...

X2 BFL. Sounds like some sulfation has set in on those batts.
Here's a quote from MEX on AGM conditioning:
Here's a quote from MEX on AGM conditioning:
Trends and tendencies: An AGM battery under conditioning cycle will allow the voltage to rise until it seemingly hits a brick wall, sometimes as low as 14.5 volts. There the voltage stops climbing and this is what you are shooting for. When the voltage resumes its climb a good portion of the occluded plates have been "conditioned" about as well as they're ever going to get. Continue on to 15.5 if voltage is increasing slowly but if voltage is steadily rising quickly, the exercise is over. No sense in jamming unwanted wattage into the battery.
