Now that is exactly the sort of curves I was expecting and quantifies them so that I can see what happens at my normal discharge rate of C/10 (I only have the one load which is fixed) and (of course with wind power) charging from 0 to C/10.

I'll have to compromise on the charge side to C/20 rate so that I don't overcharge if I happen to have winds generating less than C/20 but since this voltage corresponds to a C/10 rate of 90% max charge at worse I'll simply have a short discharge cycle in a gale!!

Much happier now that I'm not going to dry out or sulphate the batteries.
