Saw full article. You are not using a deep cycle battery. You are using a Group 24 Marine Starting battery, Group Number 24MS. An actual Grp24 Deep Cycle has Ah capacity between 75 to 90, depending on manufacturer / alloy used. Your marine starting battery has a capacity in neighborhood of 30Ah. You also used what appears to be the sealed version, difficult to replenish lost water. Otherwise, enjoyed the rest of your article. I suspect your charger was just a coincidence in that a Lead acid battery (other than agm) should not be charged faster than 10% of its capacity. ID it were an actual deep cycle, charger should be between 8 and 10 amps. Given everything is in same (apparently) unvented enclosure, may I suggest a deep cycle AGM in next build?

Thanks for the great info. You are correct. This was my first build. Hope to take some of your advice on the next one!
