Low maintenance (I won't say none because there is some) was a huge deal to me too so I can relate to the AGM crowds number one reason for going this route. Even after I went L16, I wasn't looking forward to the maintenance aspect. But it really isn't bad and not time consuming at all. If I'm home doing nothing, I'll take the time and do some maintenance. Price of the L16's was just too good to pass up. $1100 vs $2500. Now that $2500 did not include the Magnum inverter charger I was also going to buy to properly charge those AGMs.
