With that large a bank the lower self discharge rate is a key component of maximizing production and battery lifetime. Packed into the case they're in, accessing the filler caps is difficult. I've been feeling like this is a "dump on AGMs" thread and am playing a little bit of defense. IMO it's not a clear good-bad situation and AGMs are the better overall choice in some applications and usage models, including some RV situations. Outback Power, I assume agrees. They recently launched a new line of batteries and they are all AGMs.
