check around for SURPLUS AGM server batteries
used in computer server banks as back up power
insurance requirements mean they have to replaced at a SET time period cycle, whether the need it or not
most spend their "service time" never being used
electric vehicle hobbyists buy these by the pallet load, not much above Scrap pricing
3yrs ago i picked up "4" 100# 140amphr, deep cycle high output AGM's for less than the retail price of ONE brand new one
they tested as NEW then
and they still test good, at 154 weeks of everyday use
i'm in the market to buy more IF i can get them
The more and more I look around I find cheaper AGM batteries. I was in the mindset to grab trojan or lifeline as they are reliable and what not but I found a $288 310aH 6bolt MCA battery. Spec sheet
They also have a 225aH 6volt for $202. Spec sheet
Not sure if the Haze batteries would be better or these ones. $1200 for 600aH seems like a steal.
