In the first Excel spreadsheet, posted by Julie Haugh, the loss rates
seem a lot higher than five to ten percent. Using 220 AH battery,
for example, I used a 50 amp discharge rate. The result was that there
would be about 140 AH available. That would amount to a 37% loss of
capacity. <br><br>
Is it your thinking that this high result is due to the low terminal
voltage at that point, and that the remaining AH would be available after
the battery terminal voltage had a chance to recover? Is the
attached spreadsheet just incorrect?<br><br>
Thanks,<br><br>
