None of these Trojans are TRUE now that I know the definition! Sure looks like there is some sort of cycle life at any DoD
Let me clarify my statement (which someone will likely state better).
A true deep cycle battery will not be harmed or have its life significantly decreased due to regular 50% discharging. I suppose it is okay for them to have LONGER life if they are discharged to a lesser degree, though I do not know at what levels they should be?
Maybe someone else can comment on your chart and what implication, if any, it has in this context?
Nice chart, thanks for posting it :)
