>>349969>AGMs are not worth it for me. Their efficiency-vs-cost in no way makes up for the fact I already have 2 batteries.You're of course free to do as you please but the fact is that AGM batteries _do_ have a much better efficiency-vs-cost ratio
and as those Exide boat batteries will eventually go bad, (as all batteries do) it's well worth the slightly higher cost to replace
them with AGMs.
As mentioned up, I have a busted Xantrex 600 power pack (trickle charger fucked up and boiled over the battery) and when
I looked into refurbishing it, a 55ah AGM at Battery Giant was $100, 'round about the same cost as a boat battery.
There's a reason the solar/wind/alt-energy nerds all use AGM batteries.
