Yes, we realise that.

My jump-starter is LiFePO4 - Lithium Iron Phosphate (supposedly the
latest and the greatest :-) ) - it says check every six months and /if/
it's dropped below 70% top it up.
The Bunnings Ozito PXC batteries say they lose 5-10% a month, but they
don't appear to specify a trigger point for re-charging. I haven't
noticed any of mine going low enough to worry about, I just charge them
after use and toss them back in the bag when they've cooled down, they
get used once a month or so.

Don't leave them on charge, don't let them get and stay low, store them
where the temperature is fairly stable, that's about it.
