Lead-acid deep cycle batteries last the longest with best capacity if they are never cycled more than 50% [[electrical:depth_of_discharge|Depth of Discharge]]((and fully charged afterwards)). That point is somewhere around 12.10v. | Lead-acid deep cycle batteries last the longest with best capacity if they are never cycled more than 50% [[electrical:depth_of_discharge|Depth of Discharge]]((and fully charged afterwards)). That point is somewhere around 12.20v. |

| This following chart((http://www.trojanbattery.com/pdf/GEL_Trojan_ProductLineSheet.pdf)) shows DoD vs expected duty cycles. In an offgrid scenario we will assume the bank is cycled every night. If the bank is drained to the usual 50% DoD the bank((under lab conditions)) is predicted to last 1000 cycles, or about 3 years. If the bank cycle is shallower to 20% DoD the bank is expected to last 2500 cycles, or about 7.5 years. If the bank is deeply cycled to 80% DoD the bank is expected to last 500 cycles, or about 1.5 years. |

| The sweet spot appears to be 40% DoD, about 12.3v. |

[[electrical:12v:lifepo4_batteries_thread|LiFePO4]] nominal 12v banks can be safely drained to 80-90% Depth of Discharge. That point is something like 12.0v.((http://rvwiki.mousetrap.net/doku.php?id=electrical:12v:lifepo4_batteries_thread#notable_voltage_reference_points)) | [[electrical:12v:lifepo4_batteries_thread|LiFePO4]] nominal 12v banks can be safely drained to 80-90% Depth of Discharge.
