[QUOTE="condor22, post: 147659, member: 1932"] The actual voltages will vary with ambient temperature also, i.e. mine holds at about 12.9V a day or so after I switch the charger off @ about 25C. They will also lose about 3% per month in self discharge if not on charge. Over a period of time this equates to cycling the battery without even using it if you periodically top up. That's why I leave mine on charge 24/7 at home, which AGMs prefer. Using a good smart charger will condition the battery by leaving it on float when under no load and every 21 days the charger cycles to condition and check the battery. [/QUOTE]
