The Nernst equation also explains part of why a lead-acid cell will have
a higher voltage when it's just taken off a charger and then settle to a
full-charge voltage a little bit lower and still be considered to have a
100% charge. It has to do with 1) the concentrations of the chemicals
at the plates equalizing some time after removing the charging voltage
and 2) the cooling down after charging which lowers the potential. It
nothing to do with self discharge or internal resistance.

Thank you. It's good to see a little high quality science interject
itself into an otherwise degenerating discussion. :-)

All the better it supports what most of us have observed. Chuck's
electrons have become damp, slugish, and not a little bit stubborn,
having lived in the Pacific North West for so long.
