Hi Imurphy,
Welcome to RVnet!
By hit it hard, do you mean discharge rate? Or charging rate?
What would you suggest for the 139 amp-hour 12 volt battery for a maximum (safe) discharge rate?Imurphy wrote:
Where in telcom we generally hit it hard, and there for don't get as many cycles out of them.
I'd suggest no more than a C/10 to C/7 discharge rate, and a C/5 recharge is hitting it hard, as is using 14.8V to recharge in bulk mode. 14.4V seems to do it all on my DEKA model, consistently. Case doesn't get warm, when recharging.
