Hi centerline,
Used telecom jars were about $0.77 per amp hour including tax. ($424 Cdn dollars).
All things being equal is an impossible statement. The batteries I got 11 years of use from were Marine cycle from Walmart.
The reason I changed to sealed jars is I no longer wished to lay down on the snow to check electrolyte levels in temperatures of -37 c (-34 f).

in addition, I dont know exactly what model of battery you have, but I I highly doubt they carry the cycle life of twin 6v batts of the same composition... im going to step out on a branch here and say that all things being equal, 2 12v batts can never reach the cycle life of 2 6v batts have... that why 2 6v batts is usually the better way to go.
I will agree that your batts are good, and special.. but so are my 3 12v 185HC batteries that offer me 660ah @20hr rate, but im not trying to salute them or compare them to the common ones that I wrote about... and if I did, it would throw things in the same direction you went when comparing your batteries to the common ones..
and although you say yours are used telecom batts, one has to wonder what you or someone else will have to pay when you need to replace them....
