[QUOTE="Eish, post: 1135936, member: 2900"] This is correct. LifePO4 batteries have around 6000 cycles, which is around 16 years assuming they're discharged daily. This drops to around 4000 cycles of you pump them to 100% and discharge to zero (zero being until they shut down on their own, which isn't really zero). I run mine down to zero mainly because 4000 cycles is still a decade, by then, something twice as better and cheaper will be available. Lead acid and gel on the other hand, never run them down, they will be very dead. Gel batteries should not be run below 50%, so you need twice the capacity to match LFP storage. [/QUOTE]
