-Having said that, if one is aware of the limitations of the battery it can play a role in the campervan, particularly as a "learner battery" that the [[electrical:batterycide|beginner often murders]].  Lifespan on these batteries can be maximized by cycling lightly, perhaps 20% [[electrical:depth_of_discharge|depth of discharge]].+Having said that, if one is aware of the limitations of the battery it can play a role in the campervan, particularly as a "learner battery" that the [[electrical:batterycide|beginner often murders]].  Lifespan on these batteries can be maximized by cycling lightly, perhaps 20% [[electrical:depth_of_discharge|depth of discharge]].  They can also be used for people who are not away from shore power very long:

 **Con**: Significantly less capacity than a real deep cycle bank; a group 27 wally world battery has about 1/2 the Ah capacity.  Drastically reduced longevity when cycled to 50% DoD as with most campervan usage patterns.   **Con**: Significantly less capacity than a real deep cycle bank; a group 27 wally world battery has about 1/2 the Ah capacity.  Drastically reduced longevity when cycled to 50% DoD as with most campervan usage patterns.
