Ron did you by chance note the temperature?
SG readings decrease as electrolyte temp rise.
Your batterires wer gassing and probably getting warm or even hot.
Hopefully this is only due to temp increase and not an early indication of
cel failure.
Check your SG readings cold befoer you do any charging.
