Marine House Bank SoH Calculator

Estimate state of health for a marine house bank from age, cycling pattern and depth of discharge.

How healthy is your marine house bank? Marine house banks combine deep cycling at anchor with months of float in the marina โ€” AGM tolerates the vibration but sulfates if left partially charged, the classic boatyard failure mode. This estimator combines cycle wear (equivalent full cycles vs the chemistry's rated life at your depth of discharge) with calendar aging to give boat owners a screening SoH figure โ€” confirm with a measured capacity test.

How to use Marine House Bank SoH Calculator

  1. 1Confirm the chemistry (the application default is pre-selected).
  2. 2Enter the battery's age, cycling rate and typical depth of discharge.
  3. 3Read estimated SoH, remaining cycles, and years until the 80% threshold.

Why use Marine House Bank SoH Calculator?

  • โœ“Combines cycle wear and calendar aging โ€” the two clocks every battery runs on
  • โœ“Chemistry-specific rates: LFP, NMC, lead-acid and more, not a generic curve
  • โœ“Depth-of-discharge stress modeled with the inverse-power law real datasheets follow
  • โœ“Years-to-80% forecast for replacement planning

Frequently asked questions

What does state of health (SoH) actually mean?+

SoH is today's usable capacity as a percentage of nameplate: a 100 Ah battery measuring 85 Ah is at 85% SoH. It declines through cycle wear (energy throughput) and calendar aging (time and temperature). 80% is the conventional end-of-life for most applications โ€” usable, but with shrinking margins.

How accurate is an estimated SoH versus a real test?+

Estimation from age and usage lands within ยฑ5โ€“10% for typical duty โ€” good for planning, not for warranty claims. A measured capacity test (full discharge at rated current) is the ground truth; use the estimate to decide when testing is worth the effort.

What degrades batteries fastest?+

Heat above 35ยฐC (roughly doubles aging per 10ยฐC), deep discharges (100% DoD can cost 3โ€“4ร— the cycle life of 50% DoD), sustained full charge (calendar aging accelerates at high voltage), and fast charging when hot. Address the top one in your duty and lifespan visibly improves.

Is the Marine House Bank SoH Calculator valid for my exact battery model?+

It uses chemistry-class parameters (cycle rating, calendar fade, DoD exponent) typical of quality cells. Premium cells beat the defaults somewhat; bargain cells underperform them. For fleet decisions, calibrate against one measured capacity test and the model tracks well after that.
