You are right. They recommend that SLAs not sit with less than a full charge. I don't have a way to run an extension cord to the parking garage at work where I park my bike. However, I have been measuring the capacity of the SLAs after I charge them at home and they have been consistent at 90% or so of max capacity. It seems that I am not doing any damage to them, yet.
