With that in mind what is the down side of using AGM'S Price?
A properly cared for flooded bank may outlast an AGM. It is hard to beat six volt golf cart batteries wired in series.
However the "properly cared for" means checking water levels regularly, always cycling to 100% state of charge, and keeping corrosion at bay.
AGM are more expensive than flooded. Like flooded, they should be recharged to 100% on every cycle.
I chose to move to reconditioned telcom batteries which are an AGM format.
My favorite battery is SiO2 which are a subset of AGM. That particular format does NOT have to be recharged to 100%, but should be fully recharged once every 30 cycles.
