And the truth will set you free! Four x 66lb 6V GCs = 264lbs and can you outperform 100lbs of AGM for high Wattage draws?
No idea. But so far it's working for our 60A draws. Will soon be trying 90A, prolly the max our 1000W inverter can handle.

Of course, that 440AH bank will run your furnace fan longer.

Bingo!
Also we only have solar, and go for days without fully charging our batts when boondocking. Afterwards, or when the sun comes out, I equalize them hard with ~16V.
And the solar charger isn't a particularly fast charger when it's cloudy. Have heard AGM's like a high Amp charge, but not a high V (equalization).
Anyway, AGMs don't particulary like that sort of abuse, or so I've been told.
And weight hasn't been an issue since we got the RAM 2500.
And FLA are cheaper. Especially as I already had two GC2s and so just added two new ones. (I know, I know, not the best idea but then it's not a perfect world).
