Thanks for the reply guys
Is it true its not good for the batteries to be drawn down to less than 50% discharge, or the agm battery can be damaged. Also, if left discharged(less than 50%) for long periods of time or drawn down like that continuously, damage can happen. Is that wrong..?
From everything I've read your statements are correct. Agm are usually a couple 10ths higher in voltage than flooded. Main thing for me would be get those batts charged back up right away!. As far as % charged while in use, the lower you discharge um the smaller number of cycles you get.
Don't know I'd get too worked up using over 50% every now and then as long as they get charged back up right away.
Sitting discharged for a long period of time is never a good thing.
