voltage drop
how much voltage drop is normal for a agm 12v battery or any battery if it is fully charged and connected to nothing?

Hi Gau,
For example how much Antimony is in the paste. That affects gassing voltage and charging voltage
Or if it is Calcium (usually a hybrid type). That means less depth of charge.
Is the electrolyte tropicalized? That means a lower specific gravity for fully charged.
There are probably hundreds of variants on the above. So contact the maker and find out what charging routine is best for your battery.
Lifeline can be "hit" with up to C x 3, so a 100 amp hour battery can be charged at 300 amps. Most other AGM's would not survive.

Hi,
Do you mean agm battery?
Self discharge can be as little as 1% per month or as great as 1% per day. It depends on the chemistry that the battery maker is using.
How does the chemistry vary? They are all lead/acid batteries.
