Take a Lifeline. Regarded (incorrectly) as the most voltage sensitive battery on the market.
Stare and stare and stare and stare at Concorde's recommended BULK CHARGE and FLOAT VOLTAGE / temperature charts, for the Lifeline.
Eyes Crossed? Good.
Whatever Lifeline recommends as the ideal voltage for the temperature
Add one whole volt
Yeah, bulk max or float..
ADD A WHOLE VOLT
1.000000000 volts
14.4 Bulk to 15.4 bulk
13.3 Float to 14.3 float
Got it absorbed? Calculated?
Now take a WILD GUESS
Maintained at that incredible high level of voltage
How many lifespan cycles will be taken AWAY from optimum Lifeline lifespan cycles published data?
Careful now. We're talking about CYCLE LIFE. Not Tick-tock clock time.
Cycle life could care less about wristwatches or Big Ben.
Gimme a percentage. How many cycles are lost.
It's time this went to bed...

I have a storage box on the tongue:

It has been painted black.
Inside the box there is a terminal strip for trailer exterior wiring, a dedicated battery for the break-away brake system, and the rest is used for storage.

I chose to locate my batteries and electronics inside the trailer, for weight distribution and security. I can fit two grp 31's in the right side partition should I choose to do that.

That looks like a nice way to organize things!
Our will be similar, but bigger and with some more "stuff" in it ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/wink.gif "wink")
We have only one really large storage area and I do not want to clutter it with a charger/converter and the inverter. Not smart to leave it exposed to the elements or other risks, either.
So the box will hold it all. The big ol' mystery box. Of Doom. The big ol' silver mystery box of doom ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/tongue.gif "tongue")
