that final comment really bothers me

"Furthermore, they are rated from when they are
completely and utterly charged, which probably won't happen often in a real system."

if you cannot provide for a "complete and utterly charged"

you have no business with batteries, unless you expect to get dramatically less lifespan out of them.

in my opinion of course :)

bob;

Darned good point.

You gotta cook em occasionally and keep them full as much as possible or suffer drastic reduction in capacity and lifespan.
