We recommend the Super Cycle battery for applications where an incidental discharge up to 100% or repeated discharge up to 60-80% is to be expected. Another advantage of the new chemistry is slightly smaller size and less weight compared to our standard deep cycle AGM batteries. The internal resistance is also slightly lower compared to our standard deep cycle AGM batteries.
Tests have shown that the Super Cycle battery can withstand at least three hundred full discharge cycles. The tests consist of a daily discharge of up to 10.8 V, with I = 0.2C ‚‚ €, followed by approximately two hours of rest in a discharged state, and then recharging with I = 0.2C ‚‚ €. The two hours of resting in a discharged state will damage most batteries within 100 cycles, but not the Super Cycle battery.
