Trojan t-1275 vs Signature series J150 RE
Before winter, I need to get a dedicated flooded house battery, my Northstar AGM-27 has been working hard as both house and engine battery for the last 4 months, and I want to return it to engine star...

Westend,
That is where I got the Lifeline GPL-31XT from in June for my friend's portable power pack. The guy dropped it off at my address fresh from Concorde's West Covina location, and I believe not too far from trojan's distributor in the LA area.
It is who I was planning on using to acquire the T-1275 for me.
American Battery in Escondido is a half hour drive for me, and will repeat over and over. 'A marine battery is a deep cycle battery' as they slap deep cycle stickers on marine batteries. I got my Northstar there as well as the screwy31. I returned a Crown marine battery that had such a sticker on it, and was nearly 10 Lbs lighter than Crown's 31 deep cycle, and performed poorly on my 10 hour 50% capacity test.
The guy who delivered me The Lifeline 31 battery told me about the Deka telecom battery that Niner wound up with. I'm gonna be an observer on the telecom batteries in RV usage. I really want to dip my hydrometer and observe the behavior of the battery in use.
And of course my space for a battery is limited to something in the size range of the T-1275. I could go perhaps half an inch wider, and an inch taller, but no longer, and still this is going to require some fairly involved fabrication to make the room and to be strong enough to support/contain an 82 LB battery with possible forced ventilation to protect from underhood engine heat.
Thanks for those heatsinks BTW, they were extremely hot just a few hours ago as my Northstar AGM was maxing out my Meanwell at 40 amps, as I depleted 61AH out of its 90AH last night. Now the solar can finish the absorption and then float the rest of the day, high amp recharge parameter met.
