FWIW, after selling Lifeline for about 13 years, we discontinued sales due to early battery failures. The capacity loss of a single battery in a series bank became very high to where some battery banks needed replacing in 1-3 years. Earlier batteries (from about 2001) were lasting 6 to 10

Also price the Full River. They are from China however but I do have a dealer in Texas that is a friend. He says he has had very similar results with both for Offgrid. He does warranty and sells both concorde and full river. Usually the problem on both, is undercharging! Who would have known

It’s my understanding that they are exactly the same battery made in a line owned different family members. (More or less). I have used many of them interchangeably (not in the same system). Thank you, Maverick > On Mar 17, 2021, at 6:11 PM, drake.chamber...@redwoodalliance.org wrote: > >

Hello Wrenches, Is there any reason to use Concorde Sun Xtender batteries instead of Concorde Lifeline batteries with PV systems? The Lifeline is what is available from my supplier at this time? Thanks, Drake -- ___ List sponsored by Redwood
