For example, most golf cart batteries are rated for about 550 cycles to 50% discharge-which equates to about 2 years. Battery life is directly related to how deep the battery is cycled each time. If a battery is discharged to 50% every day, it will last about twice as long as if it is cycled to 80% DOD.
