The rating on a battery isn't down to 0 volts, though. It's only taken down to 10.8. The point where it ought to be recharged. |

Nope, but I'll bet there's only a few %capacity between them. At the same
temp & discharge rate.

It doesn't just work intermittently or pack in slowly over a period of time. Oh but it does, dear boy. In the case of my faulty reg it was intermittent. A classic case of (probably) a dry joint. Sometimes it worked normally - sometimes was turned hard on. Any one who claims to have a degree in electronics *should* be familiar with intermittent faults like dry joints. ;-) Dry joints were not what was being discussed. |
