.... I'm simply wondering if your reading and the table numbers are simple voltmeter readings or those made with a battery load tester.
Simple volt meter readings on a rested battery.

Same as I use. The first one lasted 10 years. Finally killed it by leaving it in the cold bike all winter with no trickle charge.
I used to call on the East Penn DEKA plant. It is huge and many of the batteries for other brands are made there. I could always count 10-20 other brands in process.

I've been using the Deka for quite a while too. Excellent battery.

Reading Odsyessy's charger information minimum output for airhead sized batteries is 6 AH so almost every charger sold for motorcycle use isnt going to cut it!
