I agree, I want to keep stuff running as long as possible. If the batteries are getting drained often enough to matter, I have other problems that need to be fixed. The one downside is that some gear may do strange things when the voltage gets too low... ePMP radios will often reset themselves to defaults when the voltage is close to their shutoff point (but that "feature" can be disabled).
