When My amp hour counter returned to zero I took SG readings again. No forced eq cycle.
The range was 1.280 to 1.230
All the cells but one were lower than the previous reading but one, which increased .005.
One cell read the same.
One cell read .025 less
2 cells read .005 less
4 cells read .015 less
3 cells which read .010 less
The cells closest to the battery poles started out the highest and today read closest to full and lost the least compared to yesterday. the one cell which improved was at the (+) pole but not where the load/charged enters the balanced parallel wiring. The cells in the middle of the poles are the poorest reading cells and also lost the most from yesterday to today.
All electrolyte today was clear, and no grey residue left on hydrometer stem.
I can try and force another eq cycle, but I feel like it is going to be futile.
Guess I should call the battery distributor.
