Thanks all for the responses so far.
Just to clarify I am not charging the batteries while using them to power the OCXO. With a load of less than 150 mA and a nominal capacity of 100 AH I don't foresee any issues running the OCXO for a week or so (: I periodically charge the batteries from time to time and probably should discharge a bit more frequently anyways (they serve as a backup power source for some other time nuts gear.)
Unfortunately the OCXO in question is only spec'd to handle a power source of 24 volts plus or minus 10% which rules out simply leaving the OCXO directly connected to the battery bank while the batteries are float charged.
Best regards
Mark Spencer
