Default sorry Scotty - my short answer got carried away

In the specs it mentions (from memory) that 13.2 Volts can be held
indefinitely if the charge rate is under one Amp.

where did you get the ''1 amp'' info?

This is on their web site;

''OPTIMA BlueTop battery has such a low rate of
self-discharge, that it can go unused for up to one year
without recharging, if kept at or below room temperature.
And because of its low internal resistance, it recharges
faster, ''
