Battery Voltage drop under load
Is a voltage drop to 12.0V to be expected with a 21.3A load with a fully charged ~216Ah battery bank? I've never loaded the batteries that much before, so really have no idea what to expect. It...

The Freas is not unbreakable but the column is made from Pyrex. I detailed a way to construct a PVC tube to protect the unit while in storage.
A quality AGM battery may be a significant step-up if performance is what you seek. Their penalty as compared to lithium is weight. Lifeline says their product will endure 500 full discharges to 0% SOC. But under load their voltage remains very high. But a strong solar panel would help in the partial recharge quandary. AGM is less sensitive to partial recharge than are flooded batteries. But a person needs good instrumentation to condition them.
I get weak-kneed when I price lithium.
