The fewer and less deep the discharges, the less-evil a smart charger treats the batteries. For off-grid boondocking a Whiffco will screw up a set of flooded batteries in 6- months or less. Six months is about long enough to allow entrenched sulfation to lattice and get harder than a wedding cake.

If a person has.enough disposible imcome I guess it doesn't matter. Hydrometer? What hydrometer? The distributor won't run out of batteries. No worries...

If you feel you need a hydrometer to know what your batteries are doing, then use one, not a problem.
I compare using a hydrometer, to using a torque wrench when tightening lug nuts. I consider them tools for the inexperienced, those that ain't been around long enuff to have the "feel" for how tight to tighten a bolt of specific size, or, very simply put,....how to use/read a volt/ammeter. Me.....and that probably includes those that have AGM batteries perdy much know, w/ in reason what our batteries are doing and if they are performing up to standard specs or not.
My last 6v batteries were still performing good at 8+ yrs when I sold the RV, and these 12'ers at nearly 5 yrs are performing great yet,....not that they will last as long as them thar 6'ers, but ain't no stinkin acid drippin hydrometer in the world going to make them last any longer than they are going to last.
But yes, if you are inexperienced, you may need a hydrometer,.....and a torque wrench. But be careful w/ that hydrometer, it is a lethal weapon ! :E
