Not for looks, but because it's clicking when transitioning from bulk to absorb to float, which is not even every hour but I don't want my afternoon nap interrupted. A big closet, ~35 cu.ft, mostly empty, with batteries and some scrap. Can open the access hatch and have a look at display, if need be.
