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...

If the battery being tested had the load used put on it for about 15 minutes, and then being allowed to rest about 30 minutes, it should have recovered to at least 12.55 volts (95%) or better if the battery was fully de-sulfated and had recovered capacity similar to new.
I suspect Almot is seeing a battery that cannot recover to even 75%soc. At least at this point in trying to fully de-sulfate the battery.
By the way; if this is a starting battery, about a half-dozen times of being nearly discharged can kill them. The battery may not have been getting sufficient charge while camping (solar or shore-power).
