Is this a deep cycle battery? Can it be fully, or close to fully discharged without damaging the battery?

These batteries are deep cycle and they do like to be fully discharged and then recharged up completely.

Yes. I bought this battery not knowing for certain if it was a sealed battery but I was very happy when I received it and it was sealed. I've had it for a few months and haven't had any problems.

Hello;In response to your question. Yes, the charger will work quite well for the Deep cycle battery. I use it on my Marine trolling batteries that draw down to nothing all the time. It works great!Jim

This is a deep cycle wheel chair battery. It is not meant as a starting battery for a car.

Absolutely. I had a fully charged battery in a drawer for a couple months. Popped it in at full charge and its still going strong a few hundred pictures later. I am really impressed by these batteries.

I have two batteries for 3 tools so one is always ready to go and I am not sure. I can say that whenever I look at a battery put in the charger, not always fully discharged though, it seems like it reaches full charge quickly. They run for a MUCH longer time than 20 volt systems.

Didnt read up on the warranty since the battery has been doing well. I've had it for over a year and a half now and withstood many high drain abuse due to the few moments my bike stalling on a few rides. I've charged the battery a few times since it holds quite a charge and has the high cranking amps needed for my old carb bike. From what I see, I probably got maybe 2 more years on this battery before its done. Sorry if I couldnt be much help on the warranty.

I have never removed this battery since I bought it and it has received several charges. i try not to leave it on the charger since I have heard, cell batteries in general, do not do well when left on the charger at a full charge.No specific issues with this specific battery however.

Hi, it is a deep cycle battery and should work fine for a trolling motor for several hours.Regards,BuyClerk

Yes it may have some level of charge, I would let it discharge completely and then fully charge it. Better safe then sorry. Some batteries develop a "Memory" charge and they do not retain a full long life memory. Please "Goggle" the term memory charge regarding batteries for a complete understanding.

My battery is never fully depleted and I have my charge timer set to start charging at 1 AM. By the time I wake up, usually round 5 AM, it's completely charged. We're talking about a battery with about 30% capacity to start with.

It doesn't have a recondition cycle and as far as I know leaving a battery on the charger won't harm it.

Have had 2 different batteries do that 1 recovered fully (still in use after 6 years) the other would not discharge fully lost about 30% of it's capacity

I do not know if it stopped completely but it does not cause a problem for the battery

That indicates battery is fulley charged and desulfated. It may take A while to finish the desulfating cycle but it is well worth the waiting, it will give your battery much added life.

I received my battery last March (2012) and fully charged it up to use mainly for an emergency or when I travel. I had really forgotten about it until you asked this question. I just took it out of the drawer and found that it is still charged up to 99%. This surprised me as it has been just sitting there for 11 months now.

These are just "sealed" lead-acid, which in some ways is better than a "deep cycle". Standard lead-acid batteries (like the ones used in the cars we drive) are designed to produce a a maximum amount of amps, but once you drain them below, lets say, 40% charge they find it harder to recover to 100%. Deep cycle batteries are designed to discharge slower and longer; draining them slowly to 10% charge does little to effect their recovery to 100% as-long-as their of a decent quality. On the other side, heavy current draw and age kill these quite easily. Sealed and gel lead-acid can produce maximum power for their size and weight usually far better then a standard lead-acid battery and recover quicker too. But the "depth" of their cycle is usually limited to between 25-15% of charge if nearly full recovery is to be achieved. I've used batteries just like these in my Black & Decker rechargeable mower for years...
