I am just thinking the IOTA will do better than the Paramode.
I am really surprised these L-16 really need all the extra handling that is given.
Let us know.

You solar guys don't discharge your banks deep enough to get into these kinds of issues. Also, I know you adjusted your controller down but you more than likely have a longer absorb time than my converter which might be enough to get it up to baseline SG or close enough where you won't notice the capacity loss. I'm really not doing much more than what BFL does with his GC's. The only difference is the height of my batts requires some attention paid to stratification reduction. You guys don't have to worry about that so much. But with the IOTA's occasional 14.7V stir, that's one less maintenance item to perform.

That really is the key. If you are happy with what you got value and performance wise at the end of the life of the battery so-be-it.

Thanks much MEX.
