That battery chart is pushing the depth of discharge too low for a long and economical battery life. Most people agree that limiting your depth of discharge for lead acid batteries to 50% helps to maximize the battery life. Three factors really affect battery life namely; depth of discharge, number of cycles and battery maintenance. Lots of other factors too but I believe these are the main ones.
Have it look at the Carts Unlimited Battery Charts for more conservative depth of discharge recommendations.
