You still have the fact that the Trimetric comes out fairly close despite varying size draws.
Here is an old thread where I tried to measure actual SOC after using a 90a draw compared with what Peukert table said (table linked in first post--ISTR smk found that for me)
Somewhere in there it dawned on me that my numbers were higher than Peukert because (I think) I was not going all the way down to 10.5v, so the batteries were able to make a comeback once the load was lifted.
With varying size draws and time between those, the battery can recover between work-outs. It is not a steady draw at the high amps till they are near dead.
