Lithiums just have a different set of quirks that require compensations, than AGMs do. Of course they also offer some different benefits, and downsides, too. The cost consequences of something going...

Whether the solar is significant or not really is a variable between users and systems.

With moderate sized system, maybe 300 watts, you can get up to about 100ah per day max, maybe 40-50 average....

There are several very good discussions on this forum about the 50% rule for lead acid batteries, both wet and AGM.


IMO the bottom line is that strictly adhering to the no more than 50%...

If you are going to attack folks, you should at least provide the quote of what you are taking issue with, so we all know what is of question. It is also a good idea to be able to separate opinion,...

I just looked at the Axion site and it shows a base unit standard battery of 105ah of AGM battery. Getting to 600ah is going to require nearly 5 more of the same at about 65# apiece.

I guess I don't understand what you are saying, but that is the way it is.
