....... I have a beer budget with champagne tastes. I need my batteries to last a long long time.

Hey Don,
I'm rather a neophyte with VRLA construction but I would think the recombinant gas mechanism would reduce the need for a lot of gassing, irrespective of SG. I might be totally wrong about that?
The Genesis EP AGM's I'm using describe a "reconditioning" process should the batteries lose capacity. IIRC, the voltage is set at 16V for a period of time and there is no admonition about temperature. That's not a real healthy diet IMO. as boiling out any electrolyte would be bad AFAIK.
FWIW, my 6 V bank has the temp compensation connected from the solar controller and that pair is fairing very well. I just recently added water to the cells after a year of nearly constant charging. My controller is set to go into 14.6 bulk for a short period and then floats for the rest of the day if voltages stay above 13.5 V. The SG remains at a baseline 1.30 while in storage.

Does anyone know if a higher specific gravity increases temperature for charging rates?
Example:
1.275 vs 1.30 can temperature be higher for the 2nd number when charging?

Naio, download and read this PDF manual. You can trust the information.
