Depth of discharge and battery life
The more deeply a battery is discharged on each cycle, the shorter the battery life.
Using more batteries than the minimum required will result in longer life for the battery
bank. A typical cycle life chart is given at Table 2 below:
Table 2. - Typical Cycle Life Chart
Depth of Discharge Cycle Life Cycle Life Cycle Life
% of AH Capacity Group 27 /31 Group 8D Group GC2
10 1000 1500 3800
50 320 480 1100
80 200 300 675
100 150 225 550
It is recommended that the depth of discharge should be limited to 50 %
Loss of battery capacity at low temperatures.
Batteries lose capacity in low temeratures. At 0C°, a battery will deliver about 70 to
80% of its rated capacity at 25 C°. If the air temperature near the battery bank is lower
than 25C°, additional batteries will be needed to provide the same usable capacity.
For very cold climates, an insulated / heated battery compartment is recommended.
Series and parralel connection of batteries
When two or more batteries are connected in series , their voltages add up but their AH
capacity remains the same. For example, when two 12 V, 105 AH batteries are connected
in series, it becomes a 24 V, 105 AH battery. (Positive of the first battery is the positive
terminal of the series connection. The negative of the first battery is connected to the
positive of the second battery. The negative of the second battery is the negative of the
series connection)
When two or more batteries are connected in parallel, their voltages remain the same
but their capacities add up. For example, if two 12 V, 105 AH batteries are connected in
parallel, their voltage remains 12 V but their capacity becomes 105 x 2 = 210 AH
(Connect the positive terminal of the first battery to the positive terminal of the second
battery. These paralleled common positive terminals become the positive terminal of the
parallel combination. Connect the negative terminal of the first battery to the negative
terminal of the second battery. These paralleled common negative terminals becomes
the negative terminal of the parallel combination)
