There is voltage above which sulfation will not occur. An electropotential issue afair. Notional figure is slightly under 2.1 V/cell. No doubt varies with temperature, phase of Moon and more. ____________ http://www.batterystuff.com/tutorial_battery.html Sulfation of Batteries starts when specific gravity falls below 1.225 or voltage measures less than 12.4 for a 12v battery, or 6.2 for a 6 volt battery R > Lead-Acid lore claims that a battery maintained at less than full-chg > for any great length of time will lose the unused capacity to sulfation. --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
