Yep. Three week vacations heavy-cycle boondocking for seven years and the battery owner believes he has received excellent service meaning excellent cycle life are out of his RV batteries. Ninety-eight cycles. The same battery with ideal float voltage may last 12-years.
Now, does a light bulb pop on for you? It should have. Something does not add up. I discussed this at length with Bob Besch owner of a smart charger manufacturing company around thirty years ago. The answer should be obvious to techhies. Let's skip the question and dive right inti the answer. This puzzled the PhD's at Lockheed Skunk Works so don't feel bad id the answer does not dawn upon you. HINT It has something to do with the way batteries are charged.
