MetroMPG,
your right, I should have been more clear. I was under the assumption that we were talking about deep cycle battery of significant capacity, like your 6V, 225 AH (Trojan T-105's?) Something small like the 12v 7ah SLA's would gas in no time. Sla's can be sensitive too.

CarloSW2, deep cycling a normal starter battery will kill it fast. because they can handle being discharged for very long. Put in 1 or 2 big deep cycle batteries, you do better.
