RE: (ET) Gauges and D.O.D

I'm going against the grain here; my batteries are 7 years old and I WANT 
to replace the set.

I run the puppy until I'm about 1/8" into the red (while mowing), and then 
charge.  I've been doing that 
all season, and it hasn't affected these old batteries yet.  I know that 
isn't the recommended way, but with 
an old cheap set, it isn't costing me much.

I get the feeling that I am being a little too frugal with my Depth of 
Discharge(s).

Whenever my voltmeter gets to the red green transition line, or my ammeter 
gets to the green yellow transition line, it goes on the charger(depending 
on how much is left to finish this job). I think I may have lots of charge 
left at these points. This is while mowing on flats, sometimes the ammeter 
will briefly go higher, but the voltmeter does not change at the same 
time. I know that if they both peg in opposite directions I am dead, but 
they haven't done that.

Thoughts?


Staying Charged!
