Update this morning.

Locked and not on a Tender, voltage has gone from 12.64 to 12.58. I'll check it again in the morning before plugging it back in.



Current reading this morning



Last night after parking and locking



This morning


@jchapura you seem to have a little more activity when the car is idle than I do as your squiggles are a little larger than mine, not that it's an issue since yiur voltage is holding well - just interesting is all.

My car remained unlocked and off the tender, here's a pic of the 24 hours since I wrote yesterday.
No noteworthy significant spikes or drops during the 24 hours.
The "big" drops at the beginning and end of the 24 hours is the opening of the car door and engine lid.
As for the little spikes and drops on my chart as opposed to yours - perhaps it's the (voltage) resolution the hardware is capturing and the software showing. I'm using an Antigravity (AGM) Battery Tracker and their Android app.

Things seem fine - just a slowly descending voltage drop and none of those reverse spikes, so they must be from the Tender when it checks the state of charge on the battery.

Plugged it back in this morning.

Battery is fully recharged. Battery Tender actually took it as high as 14.4v before stabilizing at the 13.1v I usually see when on the Tender.

Default A better battery?

@Petza914 Do you think the Yellow Top's design kept it from being permanently troubled by the extreme/prolonged discharge?

That's my guess.
