How do AGM batteries hold up? ヽ(ヅ)ノ

Very well, they are designed for deep discharge..

Typically the 6v golf-cart type battery will give you the most
ampere-hours for the dollar.

From what I understand about the construction of AGM batteries is that the plates are pure lead and supported by the fiberglass mat thus there is no antimony since it's unnecessary. ヽ(ヅ)ノ

Thanks for the link! The information has gone into my technical knowledge collection. ヽ(ヅ)ノ

Since I worked mainly with industrial forklift batteries, I have to
admit I leaned quite a bit from that article too


It's real information derived from real life experience not theory. That's the best kind of information I look for. I got a call one time from a grocery store where there was a problem with the small electric forklift in the stock room. I know it may appear to be cliché but I whacked an electric solenoid with a hammer and the forklift started working again. The store manager asked,"You're charging me $65.00 to hit it with a hammer?" My response was,"No, I'm charging you $65.00 for knowing WHERE to hit it." It's a true story which repeated itself on more than one occasion. I always resisted the urge to whack store managers on the head with my hammer. ヽ(ヅ)ノ
