Batteries are rated to the number of recharges of recommended discharge e.g.800 times
Gel discharge to 15% x 800
i.e. (100Ah down to 15Ah = 75Ah*800 = 60,000 Ah available usage
SLA/ AGM discharge to 50% x 800
i.e. (100Ah down to 50Ah = 50Ah*800 = 40,000 Ah available usage
Then it only becomes a cost/usage ratio issue on which type to buy
I would use a power supply when home 240V ac is available
a nice all round model
