13.0V Resting
When fully charged, the group 27 batteries that came in our 2014 Sunseeker will be 13.0 Volts. This IS the resting voltage, even after a few days. The specific gravity is high too, like 1.30 iirc. Wh...

Give 'em time! The manufacturers...
Pretty soon they're gonna pour H2SO4 4.0 Baumé into a group 24 and swear up and down it has 1,000 CCA, 300-amp hours (and in small letters print a 6-month warranty).
4.0 Baumé sulfuric acid is similar to SAE-20W in appearance but is 4-times as heavy as water.
Heat the battery carefully to 50c and check the "resting" voltage. The hissing sound is the dissolved plates precipitating down to the sediment chambers.
But oh man! The "resting" voltage will be in the stratosphere.
This is pure outright chicanery. My opinion of Full River has just fallen a few notches.

All it took was huge batches of ANABOLIC STEROIDS to turn him into an animal. Uh Oh, mustn't cheat! Batteries are like humans. Cheat and you get fabulous factoids and brain cancer. There ain't no shortcuts without penalties!
