I know we have some Lifeline marine batteries and I think they are identical to the Sun Xtender batteries just a different label maybe different terminals. In the Midwest more people have boats than solar powered homes.

I wonder if they're actually different on the inside :) We use the Exide RF31D. AGM and Threaded Studs on Top. Exide has a local warehouse to us, so we pickup on Willcall, but Amazon has them for $220 w/ Prime shipping. I think on Willcall, we pay somewhere in the $180 range.

I have some sites with 2 of those in series. And some with 8 x 100 Ah. I have a fair number of NEMA boxes with strings of 26 or 33 Ah batteries in the bottom, one 48 VDC site has four 33 Ah in series for about 1600 watt hours. That can be over a day of runtime depending on what you’re powering.
