Ok battery gurus,looking for opinions.I just replaced the 6 volt batteries in my golf cart with brand new Trojan T105,s.Is it better to run them down aways and then charge them,or run them down a little bit and charge more frequently? BTW I also have two chargers.The bigger one charges at about a 25 amp rate,the smaller one charges at about a 5 amp rate.They both shut off when the batteries are charged.Which would be better for battery life?
one thing trojan states is that the batteries won't reach full AH capacity until something like 50 charge/discharge cycles. AFAIK, the don't need to be deeply discharged, but I guess that gives you a reason to golf for 50 or so days in a row!
