For solar powered systems the greatest DoD (and therefore lowest SoC) will be in early morning just before the panels start creating power again. | For solar powered systems the greatest DoD (and therefore lowest SoC) will be in early morning just before the panels start creating power again. |

DoD has a **significant impact on longevity of deep cycle batteries**. For this reason [[electrical:inverter|Inverters]] and other high-load devices may have a [[electrical:12v:lvd|low voltage cutoff]]. | DoD has a **significant impact on longevity of deep cycle batteries**.

The **most common discharge limit for deep cycle batteries is 50% DoD**. This gives a good balance between usability and longevity. The **lowest cost per Ah** occurs around 30% DoD although this requires buying, installing, and moving //dead lead// or unusable battery capacity.((20% DoD is the limit at which manufacturers rate their battery's cycles.)) | The **most common discharge limit for deep cycle batteries is 50% DoD**.
