MEXICOWANDERER

That's why I am stubborn about the Lifeline.
When I did cycle life testing "According to Mex" I discharged the batteries to 3.0 volts @ a 10% total amp hour rate. This discoupled the load banks and enabled constant voltage charge of 14.8 volts which was left on for 24-hours. Energy transactions were recorded. Few battery brands made 50 cycles. Never bring a cat to a dog fight. The Delco Voyager called it quits after six cycles. All six of them. The Trojans and Picos lasted until high thirties early forties. Globe Union batteries did well. Group 24 BCI. A heart stress test is not done by having a patient relax in a Laz Z Boy and exercise a TV remote control. Unfortunately back then the RV car jars had 5% antimony and RV charging system voltage was too high.?
