I recently bought a pair of 215 AH 6V golf cart batteries and installed them on our TT. I have one of the inexpensive battery monitors (
this one) and I have a question regarding what to set the remaining capacity (in AH's) to. Since it is a brand new set of batteries and they are now fully charged, I would think setting it to 215 AH would be OK. However, I could also see setting it a bit lower so that I have a "cushion" to keep me form discharging them too low (obviously I'd be watching the voltage as well).
I have also seen some folks that say not to discharge beyond half of your batteries AH capacity. I thought that I had the full 215 AH available to me and when I used that I would see somewhere around 12.2 volts.
So what is the proper setting/info?
