Re: Battery: Where did we go wrong?
 

We've been using West Mountain Radio's Computerized Battery Analyzer (CBA IV):

We run the test at 10.8A. A new battery will take up to 1.5 hr to test.

Re: Battery: Where did we go wrong?
 

Dale,
Some AGM manufacturers state that the battery can be charged or discharged in any orientation. From Yuasa...
"Operation in any Orientation
The combination of sealed construction and Yuasa’s unique
electrolyte suspension system allows operation in any
orientation, with no loss of performance or fear of electrolyte
leakage."
That being said I do recommend teams charge with the terminals upright.
