<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Also consider the large industrial
batteries such as the Trojan Industrial 2 v models, HUPs, IBE,
etc.<br>
They have longer cycle life, and therefore are a better deal in
the long run. Batteries are the weak link in off grid systems, so
you want to really make sure you're getting the right battery, and
the right size as well.<br>
AGMs are great for GT, but not cost effective for larger off grid
systems. <br>
Also reread previous threads on batteries, not everyone has been
happy with the choices you list. <br>

<div dir="ltr">We don't do a lot of off-grid systems
so I am short on experience with battery systems.
I have a 8KW Radian system for which I am
considering Rolls Surrette or Outback 200RE AGM
batteries. I know people like the Surrettes, what
is the experience with the outback battery
system? <br clear="all">
