Thanks for the feedback, Carl.

Early in the season I do test everyday. Once everything stabilizes, I test every other day, with the exception of when I go on vacation.


I'd still like to know if I'm on the right track saying that the running time for the cell depends on CL demand (loss) rather than the particular CL level you wish to maintain (4, 5, 8, etc).
