a friend of mine worked at APC American Power Conversion.
They manufacture battery back up systems for everything from
PC's to Large central computing systems.
Battery technologies used include wet lead acid , Glass matt and Gel types.
Each type has a special charging algorithm consisting of at least 3 stages.
One of which is float. I am not a battery expert, but they know what they
are doing with the smart regulators
One caviat was that if the batteries are not kept fully charged, they
deterioriate.
SO will our marine deep cycle batteries.
