Re: What went wrong with my Varta deepcycle batteries ?

I don't understand why, if they will not charge to capacity, the supplier says they are ok.




Simple. Batteries are like shoe leather - they wear with use and capacity continually falls. They are not like a piece of electronics which either works or doesnt. And the extent to which battery capacity falls and the time it does it in depends on the way they are used.

Usually a very small number of cycles to full discharge are sufficient to bugger up a battery entirely.
