The life of a battery depends on the charging method. This is because certain types of batteries require different settings when it comes to charging. And, unfortunately, many people don't know the exact details about   deep cycle batteries   charging and maintenance to extend their efficiency and life. This article will detail everything you need to know about charging rechargeable deep cycle batteries. What is the Capacity of Your Battery? Battery capacity is measured in ampere-hours (Ah) or milliampere-hours (mAh). A battery's capacity is the maximum amount of power it can accept in Ampere-hours (Ah). For example, if a 50 Ah battery is fully discharged and then charged at a rate of 2 amps, it will take 25 hours to fully charge. If you have a 5-Ah battery that is fully discharged and charged at a rate of 1 amp, it will take 5 hours to recharge. Medium Charging Most people will choose the medium load or charge method: plug the RV into a 110-volt, 15-amp outlet and let the bat...

Before we dive into what a  deep cycle battery  is, it is important to understand some battery basics, such as what a cycle is, what depth of discharge means, and what deep battery discharge really means. A complete cycle is considered to be the complete discharge and recharge of a battery. Discharge is measured by the amount of capacity removed from the battery - depth of discharge (DoD) is used to indicate how much battery capacity was used during a single discharge. Fully discharged is 100% DoD. DoD is inversely proportional to the state of charge (SoC), which is the amount of charge remaining in the battery. 100% DoD = 0% SoC. With this understanding of DoD and battery cycling, you may want to know what deep discharge really is.  Deep discharge  is classified as 80% to 100% of the battery's discharge capacity. What is a Deep Cycle Battery? A deep cycle battery is a battery that is designed to handle 80-100% DoD deep discharge on a continuous basis. Does this mean...
