Instead of deep-cycling, the starter battery is //non-cycled//((never discharged below 100% state of charge)) as described below. It can also be [[electrical:solar:shallow_cycling#shallow-cycling|shallow-cycled]].((discharged to 90% state of charge)) | Instead of deep-cycling, the starter battery is //non-cycled//((never discharged below 100% state of charge)) as described below.
