OK that price may be off obviously, I think I checked Battleborn LiB about a year or so ago and they were around $1500. Not sure how many amp hours it was tho.
But supposedly you can discharge Trojan GC2 down to 25% not 50. And we never let the batteries get that low anyway, people with solar will be charging them every day, and those with generators probably run the gen a couple of times a day to use the microwave or TV and that charges the batteries. I just do not see us going thru 500 or 1000 cycles in any reasonable amount of time.
And even at $600/battery you can replace the 6V battery sets several times for that money. The few videos I saw on YT seem to show people installing them is sets of 4 for 400 amp hours, at over $2000, which is basically what I have with my 2 banks of 6V at $400. It just does not make economic sense right now. Maybe the price will come down in a few years.
