I'll give you a hint: give those batteries an equalizing charge every now and 
then. I don't know how often it should be, but I'd guess that batteries that 
are constantly floated in a fully-charged state should be equalized at least 
4-6 times per year. An equalizing charge is applied by overcharging at a rate 
of between C/5 and C/10 for at least 5 hours. ('C' being Capacity in 
Amp-Hours)
