Hi Gumby79
Thanks, I haven't thought about a automatic cycle window. But here is a suggestion.
Lets say your alternator charges at 14V. You put in about 8 diodes in the pink area. That will keep the minimum charge level at 10V. Just make sure your deep cycle battery will have a decent life with 10V discharge level.
Also put in a switch on the left of the green diodes to keep circuit from getting any high charge command. Meaning it will not charge battery if it's level is above 10V. You control this switch from inside. If you feel the battery is at 10V for long enough, switch on the regenerative charge circuits, and let it charge again.
Hope this is useful.
