They are Walmart batteries... They seem to be good but not great....
I used them off grid for 3-5 years depending upon how hard they were
used ( how deeply they went in the winter ). I design for 10% depth of
discharge for most of the year. 30% dec-feb. Cell failure rates were
2-4%...

5.6 cents per watt hour.
That is a new low record for me I think.
If they had a reasonable life expectance I have never seen a better deal
I don't think.

120AH for $83?
What model is that?

I read that as a 83 AH battery for 1.1K whereas a 120 AH deep cycle from
Walmart is $83... For that price diff you can literally throw away
batteries each year...

That seems expensive for the AH. They sound like they recover better
from deep discharge. The last time I bought 75AH batteries they were
~$200 each. so for somewhere less than half the money you get close
to the same AH and they added bonus of destroying the planet.

I've been seriously looking at solar for off grid, biggest problem
was the batteries but then I found these salt water batteries that
seem to be the solution to all the problems associated with battery
systems, they have a 24v version for a 2.2Kwh cell that I was going
to wire up to an APC-XL ups and see what happened....
