T105 Batteries
Perusing the Internet about batteries and possible replacing our T105s down the road with AGMs.I saw T105s on Amazon for $194.00! And on ebay from 122.00 to 155.00 local pickup only on any of the list...

There are some other advantages to AGM if one needs them. Like AGM's charge a lot faster, which would be important with solar. Also AGM's discharge a lot faster which would be important with a inverter. JMHO
I keep hearing that claim and it is true that LIFELINE suggests a much faster Initial charge..
But answer this. I have a Progressive Dynamics 9180 with charge wizard. Other identical Converters would be the 9280 or 4680
Exactly HOW Much faster will AGM's charge?
(Answer: Without a converter upgrade. and I might add that's as big as they get.. NOT ONE BIT faster.. not at all. The converter is the limiting factor (And the wires)
So there goes that claim
With Solar.. Perhaps a tiny amount.
ANd for the money.. I'll stick with flooded wet.
I might that "Charge 'em faster" is ONLY lifeline and frankly I can't pump out enough amps to meet Lifelines requirements if I have more than one pair GC-2 (230 amp hour with my current DEKA G-20s)
