"Peer review happens" means if you post something that needs correcting, you can expect other forum members to do just that. Especially here! :)
On AGMs, to get on topic, I find it difficult to tell which ones can be deep cycled. With Wets we know you can't get away with doing many 50-80s with a Walmart 27"DC" like you can with a T-1275.
I tried a 12v AGM 8D that had specs for "cycle use" and for "standby use", but it turned out that it could not take much deep cycling. OTOH, I tried AGM 27s that were marked as deep cycle on them and they did fine doing 50-80s. But they also spec for "cycle use" and "standby use"
So I am leery of which AGMs can be used for how I do things. I went back to straight Wet 6s this time, where I know what to expect.
It would be handy if you could tell which AGMs are really more like Walmart 27s for being more in the way of a starting battery than a deep cycle battery even though they call them "27DCs".
I don't even know if a T-105 that is good for golf cars and RVs means that their AGM version of a 105 is the same way.
