--Good info Keith!
I had 5 4D AGMs that where long in the tooth and I finished them off by leaving a light on when we were in France for 2 weeks. For my needs mostly cost and bulk, I went to 4 Crown red top golf cart batteries, they were a little cheaper than the T105 locally and have a few more amps. Four of them sit in just about the same space as two 4Ds. So I went from an 800ah house bank to a 470ah bank. Not that big of a deal for us. We almost never pull more than 120 amps before we charge anyway. For my start battery I went with a 4d wet.
