Thankyou for your help on deciding what brand of batteries for my dual batt system . I am going to go with Fullriver HGL9012A AGMs . $236 each x 2 . I want them for occasional winching . I have a simple solonoid . I dont have a fridge . I dont run anything from accessories position when stationary . Would these batteries be ok .

I was going to buy a Fullriver but after reading the specs and
comparing it to the Concorde(Sun-Xtender) as sold by BP Solar I
decided to spend the extra $100 on the Sun-xtender.
(Concorde battery Corp make Lifeline, Sun-xtender and Chairman.
There batteries are use in military aircraft to electric wheelchairs)
This is straight out of the spec sheets:-
Fullriver HGL series at 30%DOD has a cycle life of 1200 cycles.
Fullriver DC series at 30%DOD has a cycle life of 1500 cycles.
Sun-xtender at 30%DOD has a cycle life of 3500 cycles.
Fullriver HGL series at 50%DOD has a cycle life of 500 cycles.
Fullriver DC series at 50%DOD has a cycle life of 700 cycles.
Sun-xtender at 50%DOD has a cycle life of 2000 cycles.
So from the specs the Sun-xtender at 50%DOD still has a greater
cycle life than the Fullriver at 30%DOD.
Glen.
