An interesting point on cycle life vs DOD is that you really only get so 
many KWH out of a battery, regardless of Depth of Discharge. Just multiply 
20% DOD times its cycle life and compare that to 80%DOD and it 
corresponding lower cycle life. The total amp hrs are almost the same (at 
least for Trojans, which is what I was looking at). Interestingly, you seem 
to get fewer total amp hrs out of the battery at 10% DOD.

I wish we could attach low res GIF files sometimes to graphically show what 
we were talking about. What about it Michael? limit the file size to 15 KB 
maybe? It would sure help to show wiring diagrams and charts sometimes. 
Probably less total traffic too , since we would have fewer misunderstandings.
