Deep cycle batteries can be deeply discharged ( 80%) but should not be depleted. Ideally they should be recharged after about 50% for max life. Here is a great technical site on batteries and recharging ( as well as solar.) There is also a great battery voltage reference chart. I printed and laminated several and use them in my TM as well as home.
