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 ...

AFAIK, that number (different for type of battery. 1.25 is in the middle) is to help keep the accumulated AH figure correct which is used to estimate the SOC where you pick a number for bank capacity.
IMO your bank capacity changes so much with temperature, whatever you enter for capacity will be wrong, so the est for SOC using the accumulated AHs will be wrong too just from that.
So no point is using the correct Peukert figure--the 1.25 is close enough so you won't be any worse off in the estimated SOC WAG
