Five or six hours at 14.4 otter doer. You can do simple math vs remaining capacity then add 130% more time, wake up in a lawn chair stumble over to the generator and press the "noiseless" button and go about your business.
Slosh batteries have their place. Forklift and other industrial batteries commonly have plates up to 300% the thickness of the thickest AGM battery. For hot climes electrolyte can be adjusted for tropical blend. Of course the bank amp hours has to see a gross increase via more batteries because of weakening of jar amp hours -- but the overall lifespan can see an amazing increase.
If you are satisfied with your battery then who can criticize? But like Einstein quipped "The definition of insanity is to do something exactly the same way over and over -- and expect different results"
Complaining about battery performance and lifespan then running out and buying yet another dollar store grade battery would fit that definition.
