Battery Trojan vs. LIfeline
Ok, i've done my research, measured my area for a 2-battery bank and am looking at these two possibilities: 1) Lifeline - GPL-6CT RV - 2 6-volt AGM batteries - $440.99 + s/h - Total = $1,023.94 ...

I dunno. I sort of like the THOUSAND AMPS overkill for inverter high loading and being able to charge the battery in half the time. The AGM also tolerates 80% discharges a lot better than flooded.
Make up a list of plus and minus features.
When the B2 bomber starts using Trojan AGM then I will feel they are competitive with Concorde's Lifeline. Call Trojan and ask them specs for thickness of positive plates. The Lifeline has .090" plates. And envelope separators. If Concorde gets some serious competition their retail price will drop.
if the battery uses an envelope system it is not an AGM battery. They are not constructed that way. An AGM will use a sheet of sacrificial paper for the envelope function. The positive plate is an expanded red oxide lead plate. AGM batteries use two lead plates per cell.
