   I reconditioned, then fully recharged this battery (Interstate   
   SRM-24) with my Noco Genius 5 charger and put it back on the   
   trailer.  The Dometic GoPower monitor (GP-BMK-25) reports 68% of   
   capacity.  Does that monitor have to be reset when the battery has   
   been disconnected for a few days, or is this a true reading and   
   just more evidence the battery should be replaced?
