Woo Hoo..New AGM Batteries
two of the new ones in their workplace, the battery rack last night 7:30pm meter 12.93v lights and fans running this morning 6:30 am (early for us) 12.62v down 65ampHrs from full i set th...

Slow to recharge
Means they did not return to full
Did not accept the removed amp hours in the time they usually do
The amp hr use also creeps up, items running on inverter still use the same amount of watts,
So the when voltage creeps down, the amps creep up, and you see lower morning voltage with higher ampHr use, not drastic or dramatic, just creeping up, under the same use conditions
Aka "Trends and Tendencies"
This morning I was up at 4am for a few minutes
Meter reading
86.4% SOC, 571 amp hrs remaining
Down 104 ampHrs
Load 5 amps
12.68v
Of course a little lower when I got up at 8 am, but the with solar in charging mode
Only SOC is accurate, reading of current status
Example right now in showing 571 ampHrs , 86.2% SOC, but 13.48 charge voltage, and 5.4 amps charge rate into the batteries
Instead of a 5 amp load, it's a 5 amp charge and 0.8 voltage difference
If I disconnected the solar the 13.48 would revert to 12.**
At the end of recharge cycle, it's amps being accepted couple with amps returned
All amps returned and very low charge input, batteries are full
