Why 30% to 80%?
Batteries do not fill up linearly near the top end of the fill. And near the bottom, they are more likely to be damaged/create tendrils, etc. You can get a lot more life out of a battery that is kept at 80%.

red-beard,
Where can one read up more on the Battery/Inverter/Generator system you mentioned above?
