Subject: Re: battery leakage

Location: Eastern Ontario

A deep cycle battery only has so many recharge cycles. Back in my working days we had a number of battery operated lift trucks with huge deep cycle batteries (some weighing up to 2000 pounds) we were told they shouldn't be recharged until they were down to 10% however we were able to pull up to a roller rack that contained fully charged batteries. I live 5 min from where I fish so often go out for an hour or two after supper and may go out 4 or 5 times before recharging. If I'm going somewhere for a full day or two I start with a fully charged battery.

Starting batteries are a different animal and are designed for a short high discharge and then a recharge controlled by a voltage regulator.
