It says 200mins at 23amp.....that would be around 75ah. So $1/ah. Seems
pretty cheap.
A regular lead/acid wet cell is fine if they're kept in perfect
conditions....ie never discharged and kept at 70F. Otherwise they'll
stratify and the plates will get sulfate built up on them and/or corrode.
They say you can get more out of them if you top off the fluid and shake
them up.
AGM is reported to last 2-3x as long when conditions aren't perfect
because they resist these bad things happening.
On the other hand, I have a feeling for some WISP loads that if you buy
the batteries big enough you won't really notice how weak they are
getting until they're dead. Such as if you have a few canopy AP's and a
Mikrotik totalling 40 Watts, then two of those batteries would last you
over 40 hours when they're new......and if you still get 5-10 hours out
of them when they're near end of life,then they're still useful.

How long do these last vs AGM?

That's a similar price to what I've seen locally here at Menards and
Farm and Fleet. It's not a bad way to go if you just want lots of
capacity for cheap, but I think most people prefer AGM batteries.

Saw these at the local Fleet Farm. Are they a good deal?
