When to use Discharging deep cycle RV or marine batteries below 50% capacity
shortens their useful life. Correctly configuring the Auto Gen Start’s
“Start SOC” setting can help protect your batteries from repeated over-
discharge.
In Automatic mode, the Auto Gen Start will start the generator to recharge
your batteries if the batteries’ state of charge is less than or equal to the
“Start SOC” setting.
