"I didn't realize the importance of NOT running the battery low. I actually thought that it was good to run it through a full discharge cycle"
Full cycling of NICKEL CADMIUM recharging protocol floated magically over to lead acid batteries. Assumptions can cost a lot of money. BTW, a good AGM battery will suffer less than even a golf car battery from over-discharge. Nevertheless, self-education is the only sure answer to prevent "innocent" mistakes.
