New batteries

[Rob99fla]

Just fitted 4x US2200 6v batteries and hopefully will have a better life than the last Halfords leisure batteries. Reading the spec, it takes time for these type of batteries to achieve maximum capacity. In the real world of soon to be out on the cut for 8 months, charging with alternator and 400w of solar, is this a matter of weeks or months? (in others experience)

It’s maybe a few dozen cycles. So probably about a month or two to be sure but they are likely to continue to improve slightly for another few weeks after that.

Trojan say 50 - 100 cycles and they’re much the same.

As long as you charge to 100% full every day, or at least every other day, and no longer!

As the O.P.has posted this topic twice I'm locking this version, so that answers can be concentrated in the first one.
