Either way, they’re on the way and hopefully I didn’t make a bad decision...

The 50% of full charge draw down is for a cycle life of 400 times for flooded batteries. With flooded batteries, you can go lower but the number of cycles decreases. Each battery manufacture does publish the table for their battery life. An AGM deep cycle will stand discharges down to 20% of a full charge, but you will still reduce the cycle life for the batteries. The charts show if you only draw flooded batteries down 20% of a full charge, they will last nearly indefinitely assuming they remain fully charged between cycles. It is a fact the flooded batteries deteriorate faster than AGMs given the same circumstances.
