. The amps that are used for charging these batteries decide whether the battery will be overcharged or not.
How low should you let a deep cycle battery get?
We recommend discharging a battery to
no lower than 50% DOD, with a maximum of 80%
. If you discharge the battery to 50% of its capacity instead of 100%, the battery will produce an extra 40% more amperes over the life of the battery.
How do you charge a deep cycle battery?
What amp should I charge my deep cycle battery?
For example, a typical full-size auto battery is about 50 amp hours, so you would choose a 10 amp charger that would take about 6 hours to recharge it if the battery were completely dead. Another instance would be a marine deep cycle battery rated at
100 amp hours
.
