Hi Drake, The L16 is quite popular in RE apps...but they typically require a bit higher charge voltage to reach the correct SOC than their shorter counterparts (i.e. T105 golf cart), because they are a taller battery (stands to reason .....specific "gravity"). Make sure they are in a vented enclosure if off-gassing will be an issue. Eric _____________________________________________________________________________________

I have heard that there have been some complaints about the L-16s lately. Has anyone had experiences with Trojan L-16s (or the RE series), good or bad? Are they still a good choice to use in off grid systems?
