[QUOTE="BigWave, post: 240798, member: 6786"] Frank, I agree with TD. Most AGM Deep Cycles shouldn't even be taken below 50% charge for reasonable life expectancy, whereas Lithium Iron Phosphate LiFePO4 batteries are safe, less than half the weight, double the usable capacity due to having a much deeper discharge capability than lead acid. They also last a proven 10 times as long (discharge cycles) as most AGM Deep Cycles when both types are cycled within recommendations. I've started using them on my Suzi GSX1400 - can pick up between two fingers - massive starting capacity as well. I'd say one or more of your batteries are Roo#*ed mate. Also, your charger is little more than a trickle charger for those puppies. 40A+ would likely do the trick if your supply can deliver it. [/QUOTE]
