Battery amp/hour ratings
--rant on-- My battery is getting weak and not holding a charge as long as it should so I have been doing online searches. It seems nobody wants to show amp/hour ratings online for deep cycle batteri...

... We rate batteries at the 20 hour rate ...
Here is the quote I found when I was googling my current Everstart 24DP-4:
...That's when I got suprise #2. See the Everstart batteries were rated at 105Ah. Apparently they were not rated with the 20-hr rate. So they realy fall in the 70 - 80 Ah range.
The lable on the Wally World battery did say "122 AH @1 amp", that really threw me.
Noel, I was looking for a house battery. I would expect deep cycle house batteries to show AH rating but they all dwell on CCA and MCA.
