Thanks Mike. Very easy to understand when the units (watts) are consistently used.

As you know I am not a paid subscriber. I would like to be but lack of funds.

My comment is do not use the 50%, instead state do not discharge batteries below 11.9 volts, which is 50% discharge.

Thanks I really enjoy your articles 😊.

Don’t worry about not being a paid subscriber. Only 2% on my subscribers here are paid, and 98% are free. And that’s okay since it’s more important that I teach as many of you as possible.

That being said, I use 50% State of Charge rather than a specific voltage since that voltage level is different for each battery chemistry.
