You could use the same methods that power distribution companies use. To send a lot of power over long distances with low loss, the power company steps up the voltage to very high voltages using transformers and then steps it back down at the site where the power would be used. power lost = I^2...

I have read a lot of different experiments that were performed on lead acid batteries. UPS sealed lead acid batteries for alarm systems are kept at a constant float voltage for most of their lifespan and they can last for up to 8-10years without damage. The float voltage is precisely controlled...
