No I don't have the data showing that, nor have I seen it. But the marketing has to be accurate right?! We have installed a few systems with a few more on the books including one at our office. Will be interesting to see if the real world matches the lab tests....I don't have a copy of their warranty but it is for 15 years and does allow for some degradation of capacity, 70% remaining after 15 years. Pretty robust for a battery warranty! From what I have seen they are a strong off grid option. Could be one of the last battery banks some of our customers ever buy. The visibility into cycle count and remaining capacity is refreshing after using various amp hour meters which tend to wander in accuracy over time. I am looking forward to the migration away from Lead Acid in the years ahead! <div><div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="m_929210165908830734m_12144739485559558gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">Sunny Regards,<br>Kirpal Khalsa</div><div dir="ltr">Oregon LRT#25<br>NABCEP Certified PV Installation Professional<br>Oregon Solarworks LLC<br><a href="http://www.oregonsolarworks.com" target="_blank">www.oregonsolarworks.com</a><br><a href="tel:(541)%20299-0402" value="+15412990402" target="_blank">541-299-0402</a></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
