Eric,
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?
Thanks, Allan

Hi Drake,
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),
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.
