Well.
This is almost what I wanted to know about your American batteries of this brand. The level of discharge can easily be defined by voltmeter. I wanted to know which level of discharge is harmful for it and to which extent it is harmful depending of the level of discharge and the time of its being in such states. I assume that in your country these batteries are used wider than in our, so I asked for the opinion of those, who used these very batteries themselves, about their personal experience.
As to recharging the battery it is possible to use the car generator, as in our weather conditions the solar panels can hardly be used, as fishing is in day time and there is no additional spare room to install it in my boat. If in summer time fishing were above Polar Circle it would be the other pair of shoes.

Indifferent alike to praise or blame
Give heed, O Muse, but to the voice Divine
Fearing not injury, nor seeking fame,
Nor casting pearls to swine.
