Lead acid brand new need to have several discharge recharge cycles to reach their full capacity. This was not done prior to the testing.

"Formatting is most important for deep-cycle batteries. They require 20–50 full cycles"
Further lead acid do best when discharge is limited to about 1/4 C.
I love li batteries but can't use them due to cold weather. I boondock at -34 F. My first battery bank was 875 amp-hours.
