The upside is that you can drain them down 50% and get them back up hundreds of times, unlike the so called 12v Deep Cycle Marine batteries which will crap out in a short time with that kind of abuse.

Not sure if I’m correct. I have 2 6 V golf cart batteries with 235 amp each battery. When I put them in series that makes 12 volt system with total of 470 amps. All Deep cycle batteries cannot be drained all the way. And mine is deep cycle so I was guessing to get 235 amp hours out of them before draining them all the way. And if I had to 12 V batteries that will give me close to 200 amp hours. So if I don’t want to drain them all the way I should be able to get at least half of the amp hours before draining them Now It will be a complete different story if I have a Agms or lithium batteries as you can drain them lower and they charge faster. That I will do on my next battery change. Hopefully I should get couple years with what I got.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
