Ok, battery was just delivered.
He said he just picked it up from the West Covina distributor. Not sure if they manufacture them there, forgot to ask.
It was not sitting on a shelf in stock at his warehouse. He says he rarely gets requests for the 125 AH group31, usually just the 105AH.
It read 13.00 volts on my DMM, case temp 72f
I put it on my Meanwell rsp-500-15 at 13.4v 8 amps tapered to 1.5a in about 2 minutes.
Bumped voltage to 14.4v, 8 amps tapered to 3.5 in about a minute.
The guy came and took a look at my system. He thought the MeanWell rsp-500-15 with the 10 turn potentiometer and Wattmeter in line on the output was awesome. When I told him it can do 40 amps, further surprise.
He also talked about some new but blemished case Deka intimidators he was selling for excellent prices. But i got my heart set on a t-1275 for my own system.
He says he often gets requests by people who want a secondary battery system and solar installed in their vehicles and asked if he could send them my way.
Niner, I was more asking about the initial conditioning charge. I've read the Lifeline PDF Bible many times and insert links to it often.
Now taking 2.5 amps at 14.4v.
