How do L16's fare under heavy inverter loads?
I realize that I'm probably the only one with these batts here but maybe someone has some in an off-grid home and are familiar with how they run under heavy load? 6V seem to exhibit more voltage drop ...

You are trading longevity and abusability for CCA
I'll say it again - If you have an inverter high loading issue, purchase (3) group 29-31 AGM batteries and connect them for charging purposes via a "smart" paralleling solenoid, and disconnect with topping or equalizing via a switch.
I can produce EIGHT KILOWATTS of power with 3 AGM group 31 batteries for around 15 minutes. A longer run time would be umm not intelligent with batteries. My 2-volt cells can do it but it takes an F-650 stake truck to haul them.
L-16 batteries are built for 20 hour discharge rates not 5 hour or 5 minute.
