Newbie with battery question
After the first quick shakedown trip we parked the trailer, unplugged elec, etc. and left. Now it's been a couple of months. Didn't realize about the phantom draw against the battery but I do no...

"Self-discharge rate 3–20%/month". But that is for a brand spanking new battery. An old deep cycle could easily be 1% per day.

Good article. The only thing it does not address is the effects of being stored at high temperatures. As I stated earlier, shelf life diminishes progressively as temperatures rise and so does its service life.
The smaller the physical size of the battery the more susceptible it is to the effects of high temperature.
