Keeping a 12v battery charged above 80%

No, when a LA battery starts gassing it is about 80% charged, putting in that last 20% take three hours at C/10, after up to five hours at C/5 to get to the gassing point.

Old numbers for flooded traction batteries. Sealed LA batteries may have a different charge curve.

Grant.
