Floating vs Storage Voltage Question
Moved this from another thread to open the topic generally. Question was if PD converters with the 13.2 storage voltage were compatible with floating voltage specs at 13.5 and above. ---------------...

My SiO2 modified AGM battery guide says do not leave it with a small load on it or it will sulphate slowly. So would any battery in an RV with the disconnect open but the LP alarm still on.--if you don't take the wires off the battery and have a small load like that on, should you be at 13.2 or is that "using" the RV so you should be at 13.6?
This is an important statement.
SiO2 are a special case.
I've always left the main battery disconnect off, but the inverter "on" (in the sense that it is connected to the battery bank) so that the Trik-L-Start will keep the chassis battery charged from solar.
Having it that way means that the chassis battery, when the key is turned to "on" is in parallel with the house bank.
My solar is set up to equalize once per month. When I go to SiO2 I had planned on turning that feature off. Perhaps that is wrong headed of me.
