So will the telecom batteries be recommendable in the future?
The set I had a line on were $500 for 600 Ah new. A pretty good $-Ah ratio I believe.
Altho AGM, they can't slurp up the juice like other AGM jars. Then again you are not paying the premium price either. ( 1/3 the cost of Lifelines)
They can't take the daily cycling like 6 volt jars.
It would seem best to over size the bank to keep the cycles shallow for longer life. That kinda kills the $-Ah ratio and you have to have the room and weight capacity.
I think they are in their own category and will fill certain needs and have their own requirements for care. They are maintenance free, can be mounted on their sides. Their size and weight have to be considered. All that remains is to see their longevity when used by various members with their personal touches.
Isn't it great when they give us new toy to play with.
