Happy Breffast!
No judgement. I'm a "do as I say, not as I do" kinda guy...
Never truer words spoken. In my defense these systems often go for years trouble free, sometimes decades between me getting a call.No judgement. I'm a "do as I say, not as I do" kinda guy...
Sounds like you need anger management and let the hate go. Your opinions are yours only and if you can't understand why I specifically stated I feel like I shouldn't even talk about this is that idiots could hurt themselves. Mic drop...I have a problem with people doing things wrong, not realizing it and then telling everybody how great being wrong

Check your attitude son. "I have a problem with people ....." Double mic drop.

I assume you mean use one of my existing NoCo chargers to start charging them
I believe the NoCo10 does have some sort of auto repair, but supposedly it's a very mild repair. It also has a manual repair that's supposedly much stronger. I only used the NoCo initially to bring them up from dead, from there I've only used the 10A power supply as was suggested.Make sure your Noco doesn’t have an automatic self repair mode. This is an equalization charge meant for flooded lead acid and will damage AGM. I had two Noco chargers. One had a manual repair mode and the other had an automatic repair. The automatic one was supposed to detect if the attached battery was sealed or flooded, but it didn’t work on my AGM bank. More than once it boiled my AGM batteries due to going into an equalization charge. I no longer use that charger.
I finally was able to finish the second and third charges (14.8 for 8 hours, 13.8 for a week), and the results are below. IR-1 is the test before I did the extended charges and the IR-2 is after. I don't recall the IR-1 temperature, but the temp today when I took the IR-2 was 90*, so being higher than the 77* test spec, that would affect the IR values and make them lower.
I'm not sure how the Ancel tester works or how accurate it is, especially since it's doing a CCA test, which isn't really accurate for these (not sure what their CCA would actually be, but I used the lowest possible value).
Given that from what I gather, the IR value goes up as the battery health declines, the manufacturer says 34mOhm at 77* is proper for a full charge, it seems like these may actually be in halfway decent shape.
Thanks for your help - I replaced the 30 batteries in one of my UPS's (APC SMX3000LV) and it's external battery pack (one of the RBCs from the external pack measured about 9 volts, when fully charged is 136, so they were just a 'tad' dead ), and after running a runtime calibration, it's reporting just shy of two hours runtime at the current 28% load. Huge improvement. Now I just need to do the same with the remaining batteries and try to keep them healthy. After running the 14.8/13.8 charge, what would you recommend for keeping them healthy in storage? Periodically applying 13.8v with the power supply until current drops fairly low?
