<div dir="auto"><div>I hate to be the one to say it but LFP has arguably less fire risk than agm. A short circuit in an agm could be disastrous and AGM is not necessarily any safer or less prone to thermal runaway events than modern LFP.

<br>
Thanks for the input.<br>
I didn\u2019t know that trojan was sold, and from what you say, yeah scratch them off. <br>
<br>
It\u2019s currently at 30kwh. And thats probably a good size. <br>
As always, cost and time is a factor. <br>
<br>
I\u2019ll check the others out.<br>
