Vehicle or vessel? Either way a "shuttlecraft" eh?
I've heard a Lifeline AGM owner/operator say he
doesn't take his batts below 50% dod so it doesn't
"count" as a cycle... he has 3yr. old batts with no
"measureable" change in performance from new.
He designs and installs electric propulsion systems.
I've been trying to work up plans for a shuttle
service. something like this:

I've figured on one *DAY* being more like a
"cycle"... not every trip???
I'm sorry more of the batt gurus you were hoping
for didn't respond here. I'll be curious to hear how
things go with your efforts!
