Max Depth of discharge
Whats the max depth of discharge on deep cycles again? Percentage and voltage? For double GC 6v and/or single 12v? (I had thought they were different) I replaced my TT last June which had 2GC 6v...

One of the reasons I so like GC-2 Golf Car batteries is they are DEEP CYCLE (note I used all caps) Recommended maximum depth of discharge is 50%
Now MARINE/deep cycle (notice how the Deep cycle went lower case) should be run down not more than about 25%. some say 20..
Also DEEP CYCLE do a better job of recovering from an "OH @#$@#" discharge.
Trojan lists cycle life vs. depth of discharge. For most RV users, 6V GC2 cycle life at even 75% DOD is higher than many will experience in a decade. IIRC cycle life is over 500 cycles at 75% DOD. 50% DOD yields 1,000 ish cycles.
Now, even Trojan true deep discharge 12V have a much lower life. about 500 cycles at 50% DOD
