My thoughts, too, 'bout "charging" voltage. Shoulda called it "voltage
across bat terminals with engines at idle and no load on systems." Didn't
chk bat V before starting and after running few minutes, but I suspect both
bats are fully charged; SDL bat is new/never driven. I'll check V's again
tomorrow before starting, running, run bat's down a bit with headlights on
with engines off, then chk V for re-charge, etc. Not gonna mess with 'em
any more today.
SDL charging V was 14.27 yesterday with 300D battery in it after having
"tortured" that battery the day before trying to "jump" start SDL.
BTW, both start in the usual manner with just a touch of starter.

The 300D voltage is very low.
The SDL voltage is a little low.
