Deep cycle batteries.

[JohnHay]

Hi I have 180ah monbat vrla gel batteries for R3500 each they have a 2500 duty cycle or 12 years at 25C

Do you have a datasheet or link to a datasheet? Or test results by a trusted organisation? The above are vague specs. Some other places in the forums you claimed a 14 year warranty. 2500 cycles at what DOD? I think even my car battery can do 2500 cycles ... at 1% DOD.

Here's a way of comparing the cost of ownership of batteries who are cycled regularly.

Does anybody have the DoD/cycle specs for royal batteries? Struggling to find them, it seems difficult to obtain this information for a lot of batteries :/
