Or you can spend $1000, then modify cabling, hold downs, boxes, and add a watering system. And after the inevitable dozen trips to the hardware store, you will probably be out another $200.

It's a pretty straight time for money tradeoff.

Personally I would swap for 8D AGMs and move on the the next project.

Good perspectives. I must admit to liking the idea of increasing Ah capacity by switching to the GC2s. OTOH, why bother having a son-ion-law if not to help wrestle 8D batteries?
