Yet another irrelevant link. Why do you keep posting links to high school
physics experiments, rather than acknowledging the information from the
leading
manufacturers and experts?

Way back at the beginning of this thread, the argument began when I commented
that a battery consists of 6 cells at 2.2 volts per cell, or 13.2 total volts.

Several geniuses corrected me, stating that the number is only 2.1 volts per
cell, not 2.2. Is the number no longer 2.2, as it has been since the invention
of the battery because a battery company and Nigel Calder say that's the case?

What other laws of physics are vetoed by
claims on a commercial web site? It would be handy to have a list.

The folks who believe that there is no
"actual charge" above 12.6 volts are free to manage their 12-volt systems
accordingly.
Perhaps Nigel Calder or the Trojan Battery guys will come tow them.

BWAHAHAHAHA! Now its a conspiracy! Trojan, Rolls, and Calder are ganging up
on poor Gould!

First characteristic of a losing argument, switch to personal attack.

Or, was that several posts back when you assumed I was a 'bozo" that ran a gen
set all night?

Damn, it's hard to keep the insults straight any more.

2.2 X 6 = 13.2.

First characteristic of a losing argument: claiming all of the experts are
wrong, all of the manufacturers have a hidden agenda, and everyone is ignoring
the "science."

No - you seemed to imply that not running a charging system was unnatural for a
boater. You called a "working environment" one that has a charger running.

The first sign of dementia is mumbling the same nonsense over and over.

Your experts disagree with my experts.
Surely you noticed that?

Normally a battery works in an environment where there is a charger, or an
alternator. Neither the charger nor the alternator runs all the time, but one
or the other will be running when the battery is being charged, which has a
direct bearing on a question regarding the voltage reading of a battery that
has reached a full charge state.

From your perspective, on a sailboat, that may not be true. If you don't have
an auxiliary and you're charging the battery at home in your garage, you're
probably never going to see anything above 12.6 on the boat.

Actually, I'm not sure they disagreed. All of my experts were talking about
marine batteries in a practical environment. Two are the manufacturers of the
batteries we each happen to use, the other is the acknowledged expert in
cruising boat systems. None of your "experts" ever mentioned marine batteries;
in fact, I don't think they mentioned production batteries hardly at all.
Several weren't even talking about flooded cells. One actually gave numbers
closer to mine than yours.

Also, your "experts" mention an approximate value in passing, without a
discussion of charging, measuring state of charge, and surface charge. My
experts were all talking specifically about these subjects, and were unequivocal
that your approach to measuring state of charge is flawed.
