I am interested in knowing how fast AGM deep cycle batteries charge, especially in the upper SOC range. Things to consider: - Ah Capacity of battery/bank - starting SOC or DOD, or Ah's consum...

5, 000 cycles. Each discarge cycle should be 20 hours in length. TIME affects battery life. It is an
Intregal component of battery degradation.
5, 000 x 20 you do the math. Remember recharging time is NOT factored here. Only time spent discharging.
C'mon. You do the math. One hundred thousand hours. How many YEARS is that? For one test.
