I'm sure one of the reasons I'm getting below factory ratings on my discharge is the fact that I'm only using a cut off of 1 volt per cell. I want to continue at this setting until I have this first group of cycles done, so I can get a good comparitive set of readings from the same settings. Mid year, I will start with the .9 volts/cell and see what I get. I have never cycled my batteries in that I'v read where peak charging is actually hard on the packs, thus my choice to use the Ace Digipulse for charging. Takes 15 hours to get it done, but I'm not stressing the pack and its the way I'v always done it so far. May go with the Hobbico Accu-cycle Elite charger and begin cycling on it next time around. I like the fact that it does two batteries at the same time, plus it has its own AC/DC power pack.
Thanks for your responses guys ...........
