Which is using nano carbon, for 3000 cycles to 50%.

Other battery companies also have carbon/lead at up to 4000+ cycles for VRLA, and Rolls has 4500 cycles for flooded, both at 50% DOD.

The UnigyII is tried and proven tech, but low cycle life compared to the newer carbon LA chemistries.

I'd rather find a good 24volt option to compare a straight KS21 replacement to.  I know the inverter could crap out at any time, but if it ain't broke...

I am wondering what folks are liking for 24 v LiFePO4 battery options.  I have 24 volt off-grid clients who are not ready to swap out to 48v, but might be interested in Lithium batteries. TIA,
