"true for most marine batteries but NOT true for most GC 6v. They are a true deep discharge and designed for many cycles well below 50 percent."
ktmrfs, you are giving bad advice. Who wants to replace their Trojan battery after 500 cycles? That is wasteful and just over a year for F/Ts.
Actually on T-125s Trojan says on their chart 500 cycles if you discharge 100% but 1,500 cycles with a 40% discharge - three times the life. Buying extra batteries lowers the discharge percentage, extends the life the batteries and saves money, not to mention having back up/emergency power. Let me know privately if you want the T-125 chart from Trojan. Solar is the easy way to recharge. Oh, oh! Anyone hear me recharging? Nope.
