That is certainly not true. I have went a week (actually it was 6-1/2 days)on a Group 24 battery. On other occasions a Group 27 only lasted 3 or 4 days. It all depends on how much you are using int. But in my case, a weekend is no problem. Although I have no real answer if it went/goes below 50% or not. That type of thing just doesn't concern me.

As I said, "It purely depends on "how much power" will be consumed" If the furnace, lights, frig & sensors are all drawing, then a 50% discharge will occur rapidly. The batteries can be drawn down to 20% without too much harm, but not often & will need to be re-charged soon after & will shorten the life span of the battery.
