BFL, unfortunately, there is no simple way to describe proper maintenance. The deeper the discharge the more essential it is to stick with the 20% rule. Flat out, twenty percent minimum re-charge rate is NOT DEMANDED once the battery reaches 80%. But the deeper the cycle and longer the period between charges the more essential it is for the 100% .5% of amp-hour recharge.
Electro chemistry is anything but linear.
The fewer the amp hours drawn the less essential the frequency of top charging. And the less essential meeting the 20% amperage rule.
The above has been verified by reality not theory. The absolute here is AGM recovery and amp hour capacity retained or lost. By adhering to the regimen my 10-year old lifeline has retained 97% original amp hour capacity but it's duty is standby not cycling. But the 97% itself should say a lot for most folks interested in preserving Lifespan. It is inarguable that the time versus capacity cannot be fudged. This battery has been babied :)
