Interesting. Perhaps it's best to store AGMs on end with the lead plates horizontal to the ground. Shedded material would tend to stay in place more.
I see that Sam's Club is selling Duracell AGM's (East Penn is the manufacturer, I think). The 12V 31 (210Ah (EDIT:for two)) and 6V GC2 (190Ah) are going for exactly the same price (US$180 ea) down in Fort Myers FL. Buying two of each you would end up with about the same weight but the 31s would have 20Ah more. But there would be twice as many cells with the 31s.
So, buy the AGM GC2 or 31? I'm leaning toward the golf carts and with the fewer, bigger cells despite the lesser Ah.
I could put them inside, closer to the trailer axle, helping my tongue weight issue; and run them as a separate/switchable battery bank.
