<pre wrap="">I am an infrequent (3/year) designer/installer of grid-tied battery back up
systems. I really like the SunXtender battery line. We can get them for a
good price (contact me off line) here in Los Angeles.

seems a bit severe. I have a graph of #/discharges vs. DoD for thee
batteries. I will try to dig it up and make it available.
