I kept this in my inbox for awhile, and finally had to ask - where did
you get this information? I have never heard this recommendation - to charge
a taller flooded lead acid battery to a higher voltage just because it's
taller. I guess I see the apparent logic - more gassing addresses a potential
for more stratification of the electrolyte - but if true, why have I never
seen this in any battery service guide? What's your source? And has anyone
else heard of this?<br>
Thanks, Allan<br>

Hi Drake,</font><font size=3> </font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
The L16 is quite popular in RE apps...but they typically require a bit
higher charge voltage to reach the correct SOC than their shorter counterparts
(i.e. T105 golf cart),</font><font size=3> </font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
because they are a taller battery (stands to reason .....specific "gravity").
Make sure they are in a vented enclosure if off-gassing will be an issue.
