The more accurate method is to use a battery monitor such as the OutBack FLEXnet DC.
Using a sensor known as a shunt, the monitor observes the current through the battery. It
keeps a total of amp-hours lost or gained by the battery and can give accurate SoC readings.
The EnergyCell can be discharged and recharged (cycled) regularly to a level as low as 50%
depth of discharge (DoD). This is common in a cycling application such as an off-grid system.
However, for optimal life, the best practice is to avoid ever discharging below 50%. Lower DoD
levels can shorten the battery life.
If operated in a range with consistent charge and discharge to no more than 50% DoD, the
EnergyCell 1000XLC will typically deliver 3,800 cycles. With consistently lighter discharge
(10 to 30% DoD with proper recharge), the battery may have significantly more cycles.
The graph below indicates the battery's anticipated cycle life.
