Hi Guys
Many terms are bandied about with rechargeable batteries. Deep Discharge to 100% DOD is a term used for deep cycle batteries as used in Golf carts and stuff...
I understand a 12V battery going down to 9.5V probably in Deep Discharge under load.
Problem is how does one work out say 50% DOD with a known battery AH capacity and known load??
I ask this because the Internet wont tell me. I am not acting dumb. I cannot find answers.
Here it is:
1. 65Ah Sealed Lead Acid battery.
2. Constant load say 10 Amps from the battery
3. With the constant and consistent load...at what point should the Battery be shut down because it has reached 50% DOD?
Probably a huge question...I need to know the Voltage to shut off. Could be 12V or maybe 11.5V or maybe 11V.
No games here. A serious question.
