Help with setting Peukert's Equation
I have a E-Meter (Link 10, Checkmate, Energy Manager)That needs to have it's "n" value reset for a larger battery bank. Default number is 1.25. I have increased my capacity to 500ah with 4 AGM 125ah ...

I have increased my capacity to 500ah with 4 AGM 125ah batteries. Any ideas? Fasinating I know but I could use some help! Thanks Chino
I don't use Peukert's Equation since I don't believe it actually represents any lost charge.
What it does try to do is to take into account the higher current rates related to the batteries internal impedance when discharging, or the batteries internal voltage drop.
So the "n" is related to specific battery types and battery condition.
Oh, and this also means the "n" changes as the battery ages.
I would just solve for n based on battery specifications...
