I have used the following chart for reference, in most cases i only discharge my battery to 50% DOD (depth of discharge).</p> <p>Even deep cycle lead acids life (max charge cycles) will be extended if it is not completely discharged. It is also generally recommend to completely charge your battery after use - i.e. take the battery back to full charge in a single cycle.</p>
