Hi Todd,

 The Concorde AGMs cost about 35 % to 40% more than the L-16 when comparing
cost per kWh of storage. For a fair comparison you should also factor in the
cost of an addition battery interconnect for each pair of  L-16s; the
Concorde are 12 volt vs 6 volt for the L-16.
And you should add the cost of six hydrocaps for the pair of L-16s for a
fair comparison. With those added costs, the price difference is about 20%
more for the Concorde. These numbers are only approximate, it all depends on
what you are paying for batteries and how much your shipping cost are.
