Thacker, your question prior to this statement about how to prolong battery life...IMO and my experience, yer missing the greatest thing about having the onboard Guest charger...the best way to prolong batteries for the long haul is to keep them HOT...and that's what leaving that charger plugged in all the time does...I had a Guest 2620 20 amp (10 amps per leg) on two group 31 AC Delco Voyager deep cycles used for elec trolling motor...those batteries lasted 9 YEARS and only failed after they were not left on that charger by the next owner...Batteries like two things...to stay hot and not be completely drained...mine stayed plugged in 24/7
