Support the Red Chinese, it's the American thing to do: buy the Full Rivers. And all manufacturer specs are 100% truthful as we all know. And everyone charges discharges and maintains their batteries perfectly...

I like the L16 footprint, I had four in an extremely heavy usage 24v inverter bank... due to full time cruising and living for months full time on moorings. On a cost per amp hour basis, I could not make any of the AGMs pencil out, and my US Battery set far out lived their expected life, and the Trojans that replaced them (only due to convenience of purchase) seemed well on their way. Mine were extremely easy to water and service, so that helped.
