I have a lamp timer that has switches around the clock every 10 minutes. One on, five off, cycles the maintainer 10 minutes each hour, which is plenty to keep a healthy battery with a 10% maintainer charged, with lots of down time to be sure the battery has a chance to cool down between charge sessions. !0% of AH is the most batteries should be charged. My big truck has 12 Group 27 batteries that provide 432 AH capacity, and all are kept charged by a 10 amp (2.3%) auto charger/maintainer on a timer set 10 minutes on, 50 minutes off, and the electronic on bored recorder, GPS tracker, fuel offset pump, anti-theft, and other electrics and electronics are left on. Vehicle batteries like it slow and gentle, over an extended period of time.
