Let's talk about Lifeline Batteries
Looking to swap out the 2 group 31 deep cells for 2 new group 31 AGM's . . The name Lifeline came up, and I am looking at them.... Are they worth the extra $$$ ??? I see they also carry a 5 year wa...

Some agm say no more than 30% charge rate
Some other agm say no less than 20 %
My northstar 90 ah agm just did 30 deep cycles for well over 400 deep cycles total. Low and slow solar only recharging only 30 times.. Took 5.5 hours after 200 watts of solar achieved 14.46v before amps tapered to 0.4. Is also starting battery. Cranked engine slower. Noticably degraded performance.
Pulled 62ah from it in 5 hours. 11.8v under the 6.8 amp load when i plugged in.
Apply 65 amps. 27 minutes later 14.7v attained. Hold absorption voltage for 3 hours. Turn down to 13.6v, goto bed.
Next day violent engine cranking ability returned. Next night voltage held higher under load.
not.sure.what telley com agms want, but my northstar agm gobbles high amps and is better for it.
It loves high amps applied from 50% or less. That and 100% recharges are blowing my mind in capacity retainment in my usage.
I think i am done with flooded batteries. I want a battery which can happily gobble a 65+ % charge rates like a princess in a shoestore but perform like a kinky and grateful Polish thick ankled farm girl.
