My issue other than for cold weather is NOT the chemistry nor the performance.
Throw the price out the window. For now.
My issue is with an insane amount of electronics and electrical needed to manage a battery bank. Yeah, the Jim Varney syndrome...
Your argument is basically that it's not mass lemmings ready? Would you say flooded or AGM batteries are? Based upon your measurement, it wouldn't be either. Flooded batteries have to be fluid checked every month. Don't over volt them or they will boil out. Both AGM and Flooded need high cycles every now and them to clear out the build up on the plates. Everything has thresholds (bottom and top) and some bit of human and electrical controls around it, which eases end user mistakes to some degree.
So I guess my interpretation of your response is nothing is acceptable unless absolutely perfect and end user tolerant, otherwise never use it?
