Am I asking to much from 2x T105's?
I posted a month or so ago about my new solar install, and some issues I was having with the low voltage alarm on my Xantrek 2000W Prowatt while running my coffee maker (Tassimo). I was able to check...

Where are the problems with AGMs spewing acid?
Why do we often see wet batteries in plastic tubs? Here is a recent link of what the 6v GCs can do. This forum is littered with messes like this.
Also, the plain fact is that healthy AGMs do not emit explosive Hydrogen gas in normal operation.
Sure, any battery in an enclosed space needs venting. So don't put the AGM in an enclosed space/container.
Hospitals are full of bedside equipment with AGMs. They're safe. I have AGMs under my bed/dinette and in my van. No venting is required. The flexibility of AGMs doesn't end there.
It is easier to install 12V AGMs when you compare to 6V. The 6V must be in pairs so the building blocks are in 130lbs and 220AH increments. There is a good chance that a pair of 12V AGMs giving 200AH, will give you all you want. If you decide you need 300AH you add a single 100AH. Also, not often considered is that AGMs are not limited to upright installation but can be placed on an end or side.
There are more advantages, but the wet battery folks like to keep us AGMers busy correcting their mis/dis-information about AGM. I wonder why they don't spend more effort telling all the wet advantages?
I do X3 on the possibility that your current bank may not have been charged or maintained properly. Be sure to have the wet folks tell you exactly how to do that properly if you choose wets as your new batteries. Maybe that should be done beforehand. I'm sure a few wet fanatics will post links to their procedures. ;)
