Very Low OCV on Full Batts???
I've been seeing lower than usual resting ocv this winter, compared to last. Figured it was either wear and tear, too high a charging voltage, or a parasitic draw. So I tried throwing a lower vol...

Hard to say. I would want to know the SG in all cells to see if the SG is up where it belongs when the batts are "full" SG will be a little higher in cold temps too.
I took sg readings about two and a half weeks ago... they were in the 1.280-1.295 range... nothing out of the ordinary. After EQ'ing last fall, they went back to pretty much where they had been; although the two weak cells are doing a little better than they were.
I admit I'm still confused on how to interpret the readings when cold, though. For example, does 1.275 mean more or less, in reality? Perhaps the batts have not been as full as I thought, lately?
EDIT:
Friday January 23rd, ocv @ 12.83v:
A1 (6.41v) B1 (6.42v)
1.295 1.290
1.280 1.295
1.280 1.290
A2 (6.42v) B2 (6.41v)
1.285 1.290
1.290 1.290
1.280 1.295
A1 and A2 are the ones I EQ'd last fall.
