MEXICOWANDERER On Top Charging New Flooded Batteries

Trojan also mentions that full AH capacity isn't reached untill XX charge discharge cycles. Don't recall what XX was, but I think it is in the range of 25-50. And I don't know if they mentioned how deep to discharge them. On the trojans I've had I've intentionally discharged them to below 50% for at least the first dozen or so cycles and mixed in a few down to 30%ish. With good care I typically get 10+ years with plenty of deep (near 75%DOD) discharges.

Hopefully Mex can chime in on the "break in" period.
