A turlough is a unique type of seasonal lake found in Irish karst areas which are formed through the annual welling-up of water from the underground water system. Water supplies from wells in karst topography may be unsafe, as the water may have run unimpeded from a sinkhole in a cattle pasture, through a cave and to the well, bypassing the normal filtering that occurs in a porous aquifer.
A battery rated at 180 amp-hours over 6 hours might be rated at 220 AH at the 20-hour rate, and 260 AH at the 48-hour rate. Much of this loss of efficiency is due to higher internal resistance at higher amperage rates-internal resistance is not a constant-kind of like the more you push, the more it pushes back.
The 20 Hour Rate is the accepted AH rating time period for batteries used in. solar electric and backup power systems (and also for nearly all Deep Cycle. batteries). This means that the battery is discharged down to 10.5 volts over a. 20 hour period while the total actual amp-hours that it supplies are measured.
