Looking for opinions on batteries for our inverter.
First off, two different inverter people have told us that the Trojan 105's they're selling now are not the same as the older ones [which we have] and will only last 2 years. When the first person told us that, we took it with a grain of salt, but when Mr. AE asked the guy in SD who his brother swears by [and who installed our bigger inverter that needs the batteries] he responded that he's been hearing the same thing.
So it seems we have three choices:
Red Trojan 105s again
Interstate [at La Sirena]
Rocca/Roca?? Inverter guy in SD said these are a lot cheaper, in the 4K range, and that a lot people are having a lot of luck with them. Said they require less maintenance too.
Opinions from anyone who has bought Interstate or Roca?
