Re: lv-ab: Battery Charging: How Charge Large House Bank?

    To reconfirm my suspicion that an 8D battery was not a good choice for a
    house bank application, had a conversation with a Trojan application
    engineer this morning.

    My question was, "Do you have an 8D package specifically designed for
    deep cycle application"?

    He had a rather interesting, but not surprising answer.

    "You can get the amps but the life sucks."

    (IOW, the number of discharge cycles is rather low)

    "You get a much better solution using 6 VDC units designed for deep cycle
    application".
