[Milsurplus] led-asid batts

Gents:

     I would recommend installing a low-voltage disconnect on your battery strings to prevent over-discharge.  Such is the rule for commercial batt plants like at cell sites and telco central offices.  Schematics for LVD's can be found in several sources including ARRL's web pages.

I have a dozen plus heavy duty (running hydrolyic pump motors)
solar power systems using L/A batteries that are 
ultimate deep-discharge cells, and they still take damage if run 
too far down for too long.
