That sounds reasonable for new batteries. Are you logging the battery
voltage? Is that what you mean by telemetry?
Voltage is difficult to use as means of charging. Amps would be more useful,
and AH are what ultimate truth teller

Josh,
Thanks. There doesn’t
Josh,
Thanks. There doesn’t appear to be anything wrong with the batteries, but I
haven’t monitored the system all that much. Usually I get on board, head out
into the Sound, unfurl the jib and accelerate to Warp 7.2 on a reach.
I think I was just used to the old 5-7W panels that trickle
resting voltage is very good.

While charging - higher voltage (13.3 is the charge voltage I get from my
controller, too). When no sun, no charge, voltage drops.
Normal.
My charge controller shows me how many amps I'm making, which I like.
