Has anyone tries Lead Crystal batteries for caravan or camper.
It is an AGM battery but somehow different.
Key benefits:
Like AGM has fast charge.
Can be regularly discharged down to 20% and lower without any loss of capacity.
High current discharge capable - probably easy to find one that can double as emergency start battery.
Lasts up to 18 years.
Works with existing AGM chargers and management systems. Lithium requires specialised chargers.
Regular discharge down to 80% = 6,000 cycles possible.
That's 16 years is done every day
Regular discharge down to 20% = 1,600 cycles possible.
That's 4.5 years is done every day
A guess: Because AGM should only go down to 80% but Lead Crystal can go down to 20%, perhaps one Lead Crystal (100A/H) can replace two AGM's of the same size.
Cost of one 100A/H Lead Crystal = $500 Cost of two AGM's (each 100A/H) = $500
