Hello guys,
I'd like to ask a question (or several) about the capacity difference consideration when trying to calculate how large of a battery you would want to replace a deep cycle marine battery. I understand that a deep cycle battery is designed for more discharge than a regular lead acid battery. Is there any difference in standard usable Ah between a deep cycle and the total calculated Ah of a pack i would build?
For example, if I would like to replace a group 31 100AH 12v deep cycle with lipo 3.7v so a 4S configuration will be fine for the trolling motor I will be using, do I calculate out to match the 100ah for my P, or do I go bigger since lipo isn't a deep cycle cell? If I'm only charging to 4.15 and discharging to 3.6v as read in the sticky, how do you calculate the actual usable Ah of your battery to make sure the range is there?
Thanks.
