I aknowledge the existing CNS guidelines likely err on the side of caution, but ... running a default bottom SP of 1.3 (or higher) seems an unnecessary risk. Wet and/or limited cells could be lying to you and you could easily be at a 1.5-or worse, + have a significant deco-obligation, not to mention a spike cause by a stuck valve/solenoid or mistake.

Do peaple believe the added value of 1.3++ bottom SP justifies the risk?

Suggested for this thread is the practise of bottom SP's = 1.0-1.2, as per the literature available in this forum and library.
