orange4boy I have NO doubt your 100% correct but I simply have not noticed a shortening in lifespan as a result. I have leads that I regularly discharge to 40-50% SOC 5+ years old and they still work just fine.
the amount of fuel I will save in 4-5 years of life far far far far outweights the cost of the batteries so I don't mind.
I also plan to add a solar panel to the roof (30watt) amorphous so works in low light too. in the summer I expect I won't even have to plug the car in. the 10 hours it sits in the parking lot it will get back 300 watt hours of power. less than I will use driving to and from work in theory.
