i'm Not disputing, somebody calling 5% a shallow cycle
i'm disputing the avg RV ever being in 5% cycles
if its being used, the cycle is a lot more than 5%
if its in storage with SOLAR to maintain it
overnight loss is going to be 1% or less, maybe only the 'surface charge' not a real drain
IF no solar and self discharge is 1% per day, then it needs 5 days to reach 5%
if use only twice a month self discharge is going to be more than 5%
you follow my drift
while its Possible to deliberately design a set of circumstances for a shallow cycle
its not going to happen 'Naturally'
