uh oh, I could be in trouble. What is deep cycle mean?![]()
"Deep cycling" means vaping on your PV until the battery is completely drained (i.e., when the ash cap or diamond LED tip flashes rapidly and the battery stops "vaping"). I am speaking here of rechargeable LiPo batteries used in "slim" PVs (such as Volts, V4L batteries, Bloogs, etc.) It doesn't hurt anything, it just shortens the total life-span (number of charges) of your PV.
(I have no idea if this applies to replaceable batteries such as those used in APVs/mods.)
