It does, but it's funky. I've fiddled with the Peukert a fair bit
(now trying 1.150) and with the charge efficiency % (97). Still, it
always tells me the batteries are worn down long before the voltage is
weak and then it shows them fully charged while they're still
accepting current.

Seems like you have programmed it for too small a battery? You did check
the correct number of amp hours and if the monitor asks for a c/20, c/10
or c/5 value?

Anyway, I'm very happy with my AGMs and I'm glad to hear that you're
happy with your tractor batteries.

Not tractor, more like forklift ;-)
