Hi Everyone,
I need some help. I have the Maha C9000 and I am using it in thr R/A mode.
Several months ago I did a R/A mode on all my batteries. The room temp. was 62F.
I am doing the R/A mode again with the same settings. I am seeing a little lower discharge capacity on the same batteries this time around. The room temp. is 85F.
Would the higher room temp. be the reason for the lower discharge capacities?
Could the batteries be discharging a little faster during the rest mode due to the higher temps?
Thank you for your help.
Dan
 
Depends on how long the batteries sat there. Higher temperature causes higher self discharge rates on almost any battery.
