I recently read a few articles on how to maintain battery life on deep cycle batteries. They noted that the #1 reason for premature battery failure is not maintaining a full charge. I use to only charge the batteries before I would go fishing but now I keep those babies plugged in. If you have a decent charger it will only charge until the batteries are full and then it will go into a mode where it will only maintain the charge when the batteries lose some juice.
