Test Results-Used T-1275s
(Test Results in a later post in thread page 2) What does the peanut gallery think is the proper SG on a well-used battery? I can never figure out if it is 1.275 but on a reduced capacity, or if ...

Three hours of recharge, charger 14.9, batt 14.8, 6.2a tapering, and 124AH.
Checked SG and it is just past 1.250, not clear but not bad. No black stuff. Suggests "full" will indeed be at 1.255 or somesuch.
With 220ah at 14.6 I figured 6 amps (3 amps per battery) was about 97% SOC on recharge. So with say 260AH at 14.8 we must be above 97% SOC? Anyway it all helps cross-check that we are in the ball park here.
Not going to get much solar today with clouds coming in, so will run the gen longer. So far it looks like the AH returned matches AH out for approx. 50% and the testing is validated.
