Hi Folks,

A good article on batteries is in the January 2005 issue of Family Motor Coaching (FMCA.com)starting on p.76. Of interest is the life cycle expectancy table on p.80 where it shows that for a 75% discharge (12.45 vdc - flooded cell)gives 2200 cycles before wearout, and 50% discharge (12.2 vdc)gives 1000 cycles before wearout and if you discharge your battery to 0%, expect only 325 cycles.
One typo on p.81 in the illustration - can you find it? Fred Kovol
