no..
that assumes a (1)day storage or less, then charging and putting back to use, do you put a 'fully charge' battery in storage for 12-24hrs then take it out and charge it before using it..Not in real life
do your calculations for a minimum of ONE week storage

Less than 5% discharge happens all the time in storage.
500mA quiescent current
12 hours of discharge (night time)
Discharge = 0.5A * 12 hrs = 6 AH
6 AH / 220AH = 2.7%
Those with just one battery will be around 5%.
