Hi all. Thx for the help with my previous question re: 6v battery selection

So I went ahead and bought the Trojan T-105's mostly because of reputation, the shop (Rocky's in Edmonton, awesome btw) matched the price, and they were a bit shorter than the Crown's and fit my battery box better.

Question is around charging. In looking at the specsheet for the T-105's I saw they specify a 14.8 volt absorption charge. Is there really any noticeable difference to be seen in capacity or lifespan by going to the extra trouble of increasing to 14.8? I believe most chargers are probably 14 or so volts at this stage. Thoughts?

Thx

The short answer.....depends. As an example do you think that a person that uses there rv twice a year or two weekends a month durring the summer or is full time has the same charging needs? Or a RV park hopper and a boondocker? There isnt a converter out there thats a true battery charger(some are better then others) And alot of cheaper solar controllers cant do the job correctly. Do you REALY believe that the manufacturer who designed tested and built the battery dosent know whats best for it? You know MEX is right the battery hydrometer will tell you the truth. I suggest you use it. In fact just an hour ago i condemed a 2 month shy of a 5 year old kirkland battery using a hydrometer...its a handy tool.
