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...

Niner,
I knew there was capacity loss due to cold, but I was not aware there was an associated drop in resting voltage. I mean, it does kinda make sense, but I had never seen it mentioned before. I'm just trying to establish what is normal or to be expected, and thus know when I should be worried.
The bank will remain in hibernation for the next couple months, but I've been concerned with whether or not last years use(abuse?) had any ill effects? All seems well and good though.
If you top charged them, then a few days later, fully equalize charged them before putting them away for the fall and winter season, then revisit them come spring if they've been completely disconnected the whole time. At that time, re top charge them, measure CG again, and if they are not equal, re equalize charge again shortly before going out to use them on a trip.
