Hi y’all First thanks to all who have tried to help with this project I finally got my Renogy system up and running. 4 -100 watt panels on the roof. 30amp mppt controller, 2000w pure sine wave inve...

So it is ok to do several 50-90s in a row with AGMs, then go home and recharge to full (.5a/100AH) at the specified 14.x level for that model AGM, and then go to float voltage until the next trip?
No need for a 20% recharge in that case? (Especially when you get home with the battery bank high enough so it won't do a Bulk Stage anyway, but goes to Absorption tapering amps.---no need to run the batts back down after getting home so they will accept a Bulk Stage?)
What about a 20% recharge deep cycle every so often while doing the above just to keep the AGMs tuned up? Required? Bogus requirement?
What about Trojan saying better not to Float the AGMs between trips if going out once a month or more often (leave them disconnected presumably)?
"Avoid using continuous float charging on VRLA batteries that are charged more than once/month."
