Im leary about taking SG readings too often. Have you heard the jokes about the guy who buys a brand new helmet but doesnt wear it because of fear to scratch it?
Thats like me with my brand new batteries. I dont want to remove a single drop of electrolyte from them. Which i know is going to happen every time i take a reading.
I do have a plan for later. Out of curiosity im going to manually fully charge the GC batteries. Use a water meter to measure how many amps i remove. Then for fun hook it up to the 5a battery tender and see how many go back in. Will record voltage of everything and plot on a graph.
I 100% agree the battery tender is not a good choice. Its just a quick temp choice for now. Might use the HF battery charger later today. I want to test both actually down the road.
