This can be addressed if you use leisure batteries. They are able to
stand somewhat more abuse than the regular car batteries.

I would suggest that's "different sort of abuse" rather than "more
abuse". If you tried starting your car from a 'leisure' battery it
wouldn't last long I don't think.


Well yes, I did mean it in the context of being able to be deep
discharged......
