Purchase of the batteries is imminent. $86/ea. What would be gained with AGM's and how much are they?
What would be gained? ... AGMs are maintenance free, other than properly recharging them, and as long as they're not enclosed in a totally sealed box AGMs can be mounted in
any location, oriented in
any direction. The downside is they're more costly ... but if it were me I'd rather spend those extra $$$ on AGMs than a costly metal storage box like a Torklift.
My next battery will almost for sure be another flooded, best bang for the buck, BUT my situation is different than yours and a single flooded will serve my needs just fine. In your case you want multiple batteries and have a mounting issue that AGMs can solve for you ... seems evident to me which is the better choice.
