FF: Some interesting numbers on how the battery temperature affects the number of duty cycles. I'm not sure how often we cycle our batteries in a hot engine room though. We spend more than 90% of out time at anchor and the engine room is probably close to the water temperature which in most cases is cooler than the ambient/cabin temp. When we are under way our DC loads are being powered off the alternator so we aren't drawing them down.
