Hi Kevin,
You may find that most folks here talk capacity in amp-hours at the 20 hour rate rather than reserve capacity in minutes.
The general rules of thumb for long battery life are:
only use 50% of total capacity
recharge to 100% as often as possible
do not over charge
do not under charge
do not leave the battery uncharged for weeks at a time.
For flooded batteries c/5 may be the best (i.e. most efficient) charging rate.
