House batteries not up to ah rating
Bought 2 new Interstate SRM-24 group 24 RV/Marine batteries a few months ago. I have used the MH 4 times on trips lasting from 3-6 days. Never going below 40 amps before recharging. The rating is 85...

While waiting for new tires yesterday at WallyMart gringolandia I perused their batteries.
Their "group 24 deep cycle" battery had exactly the same weight, amp hours and CCA as a good engine starting battery of the 1960s and 70s. That meant 11 plates per cell of .055" thickness.
If those batteries are 'Deep Cycle" I am a Tibetan Monk.
