My old AGM's were getting long in the tooth. MFG 12 1/2 years ago (when I retired them). They were telephone deep cycle batteries and weighed 100 Lbs. each with a 125 Ah rating. They were 5 years old with light duty when I got them.
I replaced them with 200 Ah of BB. I don't have to worry about getting them to 100% charge everyday. I have had them as low as 40%. The charging voltage is 14.6 VDC and resting voltage seems to be 13.3 VDC. These are higher voltages than I am used to seeing. At least I have buck/boost regulators on my sensitive electronics. I have only had these batteries since the end of May but am very happy with them so far. Did I mention that I don't have to get them fully charged every day? I keep them inside so haven't had to worry about freezing temps and they are a LOT lighter.
