Deka Unigy batteries [RE-wrenches]

Wrenches,

Anyone have experience with the Deka Unigy II AGM batteries for off-grid 
solar applications?  We've got a customer who really wants maintenance-free 
and is willing to pay a fair amount for the privilege.  These units 
configure and rack like the top of the line Absolytes and C&D's - they're 
self racking (laying on their sides) with all busbar connections 
included.  They have shorter life and deep cycle ratings than the 
Absolytes, but the pricing that we're getting reflects that fact, and I'm 
satisfied with the performance that they claim we'll be getting.

This will be a residence that is only used part time (but used heavily 
during that time).  I've designed for better than C/20 solar charge, and 
the system will also have sufficient generator capacity to run a pair of 
VFX3648s at their max inverter charge limits.  I specified the 95 series 
Unigy's.

Anything not to like (or to watch out for) with these guys?

Thanks,
John Raynes
