 Lead-acid chemistries prefer light cycling and full recharge between those cycles.  Lead-acid batteries are traditional cycled to [[electrical:depth_of_discharge|50% depth of discharge]] because it offers a balance between duty life (years between failure) and bank size.(("dead lead"))  Pulling the bank below 50% DoD in emergnecies will not automatically cause damage //assuming a full charge is accomplished ASAP//.
-This article is about the intentional and chronic depletion of lead-acid banks below the 50% mark, **followed by vigorous recharging**.  This might be desirable when:
+This article is about the intentional severe use of lead-acid banks by running them below the 50% mark, **followed by vigorous recharging** at maximal voltage.  This might be desirable when:
   * reducing the weight impact of lead banks
