I almost became a dealer They wanted me to deal with sales tax and I like being able to decide that with AEE and Soligent. They do not communicate directly with the inverter/charger/Mppt. They appear robust enough to not need to. They work with anyone's existing system. They do have an App

Hadn't seen the spec sheet of the GS battery... thanks. It's a Carbon battery with a Carbon additive to the negative plate. Generally and this of course depends on the manufacturer when you add carbon to the neg anode (plate) it increases the cycle life, and charge acceptance of the battery. It

I am reaching out to the group to see if there is any experience with GS batteries. Their cycle life graph is better than I have seen in any VRLA battery I have seen (see comparison below). I wanted to know if anyone on here has used them and if so have you experienced the cycle life that they

Daniel, There is a big difference in the construction of these two very different batteries. The FR battery is a AGM battery with a limited amount of electrolyte and a much smaller plate than the OPZv Tubular Gel Battery. The larger plate (Tubular Plated Gel) as well as the excess Gel
