Ok. I'm looking confused right about now.
I am reading that the lead acid battery is considered
totally discharged at a specific gravity of around 1.13...
which several tables indicate will occur at around 11.8V.
? I have two small inverters (400W and 150W)
that I use for emergency lighting...
both disconnect the battery at well under 11.8 V.
(one of them disconnects at 10.5 or sok the 400W inverter
drops the battery at 10.0V ) [??!]
Overdischarging of the battery is damaging to its plates.
I would expect that the battery disconnect voltage would
be at or above 11.8V...not well below that point.
Are these inverters badly designed?...not taking proper care
of the battery...? ..some piece of the puzzle I am not seeing..
or am I even more confused than I think I am?
*stares at data sheet....(staring is not helping...sigh)
*puts message into bottle, casts the bottle into the cyber sea.
*plays with the crabs on the beach.
