There are the haves and the have nots. It's amazing that the have nots know so much more than the haves using them everday.
Most of the debates or points of contentions seem to include "best cycle life" or "long life".
What is the length of time for the "best cycle life" to be accomplished?
Using my manufacturer claimed specs for 100ah battery.
Cycle Life : >2000 (80% DOD) or (160,000ah); >3000 (70% DOD) or (210,000ah)
If you're buying them for "best cycle life" use less of the available stored energy. 60% DOD must really stretch the cycle life out.
But than I've read you can't trust the SOC monitors so are we really getting what is claimed. ;)
