acceptance charging rate AGM batteries
Hi all, It is generally thought that acceptance rate for a flooded deep cycle battery is about 12.5 amps per 100 amp-hours of capacity once the bank is at 85% state of charge. I know that accept...

Hi Niner,
How do you know they don't like high discharge rates? i.e. what are the symptoms you are seeing to make you believe that?

They also do NOT like being taxed with high discharge rates, either. I try to keep the draw down to nothing more than 10 amps... try to take my showers in the morning when the sun is beating on the solar panel and the voltage is up a bit, let the solar panel make the electricity to run the water pump at a higher voltage and lower amperage draw.
I have a ham radio that at 100w will draw at 23 amps. The Telecom battery does NOT like that, so I usually limit my watts to 75 or 80w Tx. Listening Rx is a whole another matter, 2 to 3 amps listening or idling.
These are my observations, YMMV this is what works for me on 2 to 4 week camping trips dry camping.
