Deep-cycle batteries typically feature thick plates with a high-density active material. The thick plates allow for reserve energy to be stored deep within the battery plate and released during slow discharge. The high-density active material remains within the batteries plate/grid structure longer, resisting the normal degradation found in cycling conditions. The Deep-cycle batteries we recommend use a different chemistry for the plates’ active paste material, and a slightly stronger acid. This chemistry allows for a much longer life in deep cycle applications with only a slight reduction in maximum power output. The cyclic life of the battery is dependant on the depth of the discharge in each cycle. The deeper the discharge is, the shorter the cycle life. The cycle life is also related to such factors as the type of battery, charge method, ambient temperature and rest period between charge and discharge. The charging rate and accuracy of the charger is also critical. It is advisable to check the accuracy of the charger every 3 years.
