I have had these on my 48 volt Outback system since 6-14-08 and so far, so good. I have heard the price will only be slightly higher than their lead antimony batteries.

I too have experimented sucessfully with ex-phone company lead cals. Around here you can often buy them for $50 apiece. I <br> fing they're particularly good in micro-hydro service where deep cycling is not really necessary. For your information I happen to know that Surrette has a lead calcium project in devleopment with SMA. Don't know how <br> "affordable" they will be, though.
