1000 cycles at 80% DOD for a small format sealed battery is impressive.
It all gets down to what they cost, and if they really live up to those
numbers in the real world. It also looks like they only have a group 31
sized 12 volt model, so that limits their use to smaller GTB
installations mostly. Some 6 v golf cart and L16 offerings would
definitely expand their usability. Meanwhile Full River seems to be
holding up well in the sealed battery market, with a much better than
avg cycle life of around 700 cycles to 80% DOD.

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about Firefly carbon fiber
substrate sealed batteries? They have some very interesting claims about
cycle life and charge efficiencies.
