Frequently cycling a conventional lead acid battery will drastically reduce its life. Retrofitting other chemistries are more forgiving (but more expensive, and may require specialized chargers).
Math required, if saving money is the goal.

This is from delete, but how about from modifying R/R from shunt type to series? Or getting high efficiency alternator with built in series RR?

The main difference that shunt type regulators basically discharge unused electricity (turn it into heat), and series reduce output by reducing current (load)
