 ===== effect of DoD on lead battery life =====
-How deeply one regularly discharges lead-chemistry batteries will have a **direct effect on how long the battery bank will last**.((Banks are typically replaced when they have lost 20% of their capacity))
+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%.  Since this is judged by voltage it is am imperfect science.  laced when they have lost 20% of their capacity))
