Hi folks,
A bit of info for those in the planning stage.
My house bank of Vetus 12v sealed Lead Acid 165 AH just died in the butt, suddenly.
It was 1300 days old - 3 years, 9 months.
Theres a life expectancy of about 1,000 deep cycles, lifeline are a bit longer.
Anyway, mine used every day and down to 50% 12.24 volts every night and recharged to 100% every day.
I had them sheduled for replacement by the end of this year and knew they were on the way out for the last three months.
So plan for renewing them in your fourth year
