Testing AGM batteries?
When I got my last set of batteries (150aH AGM, used), they had been tested on a high-amp car tester. But my friend who knows batteries pretty well said that was not a proper test, that what we shoul...

Curiosity+ data from actual instruments, somewhat accurate, is so much more revealing than a2 +b2 =c2 book learning.
My battery temperature is swinging much more widely than I imagined before I had battery temperature actual data.
Short read,. it gets hotter, faster than expected, and holds it through absorption and maintains it well after during discharge which can also alter the apparent capacity during discharge, as it basically maintains temperature during discharge during falling ambient temps.
77f, is easily exceeded in 65F ambients in Absv, or VAbs, if BFL13 decides it is time to come back.
A thermocouple in the battery case, has been extremely enlightening to me.
I wish I had better ability to log the data I can now collect.
My battery temperature data, so far, has slapped me upside the head, with only a semi closed fist. My ears are still a ringing, as my expectations were very far off of actual.
