You might have to cycle those new batteries deep (  50% ?)  a couple times before they start acting properly like you would expect a deep cycle battery to.

There is a lot of info on how to hook up and test the stuff on the knowledge base ( I only found out about this recently)

Hi DEinME,

Am curious how those new Trojan IND batteries are doing.

Are  you able to achieve full-charge,  measured SGs,   using the standard Absorb voltage?

Any other observations on these batteries?

Thanks,   Vic
