If that charge cycle theory floating around were true, an average car battery wouldn't make it three years in a commuter vehicle. Not sure I buy into that as my plain old (cheap) #24 car batteries I use with a solar charger typically give me over 10 years of service.

It is more than likely that it is simply age or abuse. Over the years I doubt if 5% of my battery failures were due to exceeding the number of charge cycles. -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to pin...@erols.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
