Hey Ray I like your dolly! I could use something like that to move the big Surrette/Rolls batteries. Not nearly as big as a HUP but at 300+ lbs can be a little hefty. Ron On 2011-09-17, at 6:52 PM, Ray Walters wrote: > Todd; > > I haven't tried the 2v L16s, because they were rated the same cy

I agree Larry, I don't have as much confidence in the Dekas, but a cycle life chart provided by my supplier shows them equal to the T105. IT took a mnth to get that chart to me, so who knows where it came from. I definitely have seen lower life from the Sam's club batteries, but again we need so

Hey Todd, Yep. We use the Sun Xtender and Lifeline 2 volt L16 AGM's for 12 volt systems in RV's and small off grid. We also sell the Tall GC2 battery for lower capacity applications. So far, so good. I have not sold any flooded 2v L16's but we have sold Crown 6 volt L16's for years and I have n

What about the 2 volt L-16 versions? Has anyone had success with them for larger banks? I work alone and HUPs are too heavy to lift on my own... however 24, L-16's in one series string would be a hell of a battery bank too. Todd On Friday, September 16, 2011 1:03pm, "Ray Walters" said
