Guys,
We have always used the Optima D31M AGM batteries (just because).
Well�. It�s that time� time to replace 90% of them, and looking for
alternatives. Having to buy 120+ batteries� cost becomes something to
at least look at.
My local supplier says that FPL (Florida Power & Light � aka Florida
Flicker and Flash) uses the Deka 7T31 non-AGM batteries (Lead Acid)

(minus the ah rating which I got from Deka over the phone).
Does lead acid have distinct disadvantages from AGM? Also, anybody
using Li-Ion yet for a tower battery bank? Probably not cost-effective ?
