is there any reason you have not shared the brand/size etc of battery?
going on a month, is it some sort of secret?

And thanks again. I truly appreciate all the help that you and everyone else has given me in my quest to properly maintain my batteries.
My converter is apparently already adjusting for the high temps. When I checked the voltage the other day while connected to the converter it was at 12.97. I was a bit puzzled by this, but you just answered it for me.

I cannot find a spec sheet on these batteries. I have looked and found some commentary by people who may or may not know what they are talking about. One said the SG on these at 100% is 1.266.
Going forward, I want to make sure I am doing this properly. Before I was cycling them down to about 50% and then recharging with the "smart charger" which turned out to not be so smart. Do I want to recharge at a fixed voltage in the future and if so what voltage?

Is that after some time at 16v? You were at that SG before. So if you did the 16v, is that where SG stayed (stopped rising)?
Yes the temp correction works that way. Hotter than 77F makes the electrolyte less dense, so the hydrometer bobber floats lower showing less SG.

Your battery spec data sheet will say what the resting full voltage and SG should be at 77F. do the equalize, let them rest for a day and check the SG--it will be higher next day when they cool down after the overcharge. (SG is higher with cooler electrolyte--more dense)
