Are you talking about the Optima or lead crystal?
The specs for the lead crystal show:
Greater Cyclic Life - 6000 cycles to 20%, over 1600 to 80% DOD
that indicates they suffer from over discharge like any other battery.
It has been circulated that Optima's can be discharged to zero without
harm but the company won't provide a life versus DOD stating that it is
commercially senstive information!
The last I read on Optimas was:
1200 cycles to 0% SoC ( 10.5v ) and 2,000 to 20% SoC ( 11.58v )
so Optimas also suffer the same as any other battery if severly discharged
similar to the above.
