Agree, but to me that’s a major difference, otherwise it’s like comparing a $1,000 solar system to one that costs $2,000. I expect most things that cost more to perform better (although it’s not always the case). The question is whether it’s worth the difference to the particular buyer.
If we compare based on similar price because there is a limited budget, then you can get more capacity with flooded. If we compare 100 Ah of AGM to 160 Ah of flooded, the choice isn’t as simple (at least to me).
By the way, I’ve seen data for lithium batteries having a very low self discharge rate, but nothing to suggest AGM is only 1% a month. Are you sure that’s correct?
