Battery question/advice

[Silver Hawk]

I was reading an article in a trailer magazine about batteries and toward the end the author stated in passing: "you can run AGM batteries below 50%".
I have read many articles and threads on this forum and it has always been gospel to never run batteries below 50%. Did I miss something or was this writer throwing out something that was in his head but not true.
I know a bit about wet batteries, but almost nothing about AGM's - which I bought two years ago (2x6v) and am very happy with - but it would be great to get more use out of them, and/or not get so worried when I'm running down close to 50%.
Any knowledge out there about this?
Thanks, you'all

"you can run AGM batteries below 50%"

Sure you "can", but should you? Not routinely and as infrequently as possible.

Much folklore and little fact

AGM or wet, in typical RV use while camping you can run them down to 80-90% DoD provided that they are recharged promptly. Yes it will reduce the cycle life but in typical RV use that isn't why batteries die. Your Airstream is not a forklift or a floor machine and the batteries are not discharged and recharged 365 times a year.

I run mine down to 80% DoD when I need to which ends up being maybe 3 or 4 times a year at the most. Flooded group 27s. Still going strong after five years.

It is the situation where the batteries discharge in storage and then remain in a discharged state for a long period of time or in freezing conditions that leads to damage.
