 DoD is the inverse of //State of Charge (SoC)//.  Example:  a battery at 30% DoD is at 70% SoC.
-DoD has a **significant impact on longevity of lead deep cycle batteries**.((and, to a lesser degree, lithium batteries))  For this reason [[electrical:inverter|Inverters]] and other high-load devices may have a [[electrical:12v:lvd|low voltage cutoff]] to prevent going below a given SoC, typically 50%.
 Note: This information is primarily relevant to lead-chemistry batteries.  Lithium batteries have [[#lithium_soc|different DoD capabilities and lifecycles]].
