AGM Batt on Trickle Charge?
I recall that AGM batteries are a bit different somehow, so I'd like to know what to expect. I'm thinking of getting a solar setup for tent snow camping. A Powerfilm 60w flexible panel/tarp, and a...

My mistake, sorry. 40% minimum SOC for AGM is for self-discharge only. When they cycle daily, there is no minimum SOC (I think). But the deeper you cycle, the fewer cycles you'll get. At 100% discharge you'll still get 200 cycles (vertical axis are cycles, horizontal - depth of discharge):
But this is for AGM (or any other deep cycle battery). Car starter battery won't take deep discharge too well.
So, you can abuse AGM and draw - don't know - 13 or 14 AH a day, out of 18 AH battery. Maybe you should consider lithium battery.
