A float voltag of less than 13.8V seems to boil off fewer batteries. I usually run about 13.5. If the charger bulk charges to 13.8 and then switches to a lower float voltage I wouldn't worry. Give it a bulk charge before use.

There's a chance that one or more of the blue resistors set the voltage, they are high precision. R7 and R10 appear to have been running a bit hot. It may be worth checking their values.

I'd guess they are 222Ω and 182Ω but I'm not entirely confident of that. If they are just ballast resistors for the LEDs you can ignore them,
unless the charger is using one or more of the LEDs as voltage references.

And another utter rubbish post in my timeline from someone I do not follow, doesn't follow me, and of whom I have never heard.

He also appears to be quite delusional or deliberately pushing bullshit.

Now I'm seeing stuff in my feed from accounts I don't follow ... has The Algorithm arrived?

Did the Mastodon web interface do a reasonably radical reformat overnight, or did I push some button which shifted the menu to the right and made the timeline area bigger and much more labourious to doomscroll?

Whether or not it was me, how do I make it stop?
