Many people have asked if cheap AGM / Sealed batteries last a long time. To address that question, I have 3 batteries that I have owned for years, and they have been in regular use.
Here are some links to my videos where I used each battery:
Video with 18 AH battery: • Overnight Off-Grid Pow...
Video with 35 AH Battery: • Review Everstart 400 W...
Video with 100 Ah Battery: • DIY solar mobile power...
Also, here are links where you can purchase your own AGM / Sealed Lead-Acid Battery:

Love your video very informative..can you do a review on lithium battery the flypower battery you got?

Below is a link to the updated review with the fly power battery. Thanks for your comment. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-90NHIw-EKqc.html

I have been enjoying your videos lately. I’m trying to build my own budget system with a second hand jumpstarter power station. I have a technical question. If you have your solar system running and your battery is in absorption/ float mode does the charge controller let more current in the system if a load is applied? Or does it wait for battery to be depleted then only apply current after battery voltage drop. My setup would use the same size battery as your smaller one. If there was a way to minimize battery cycling while the solar system is active I would be interested in know what the best way to do that would be. Trying to keep the battery cool during hot days.

I'm pleased you have enjoyed the videos. I am not a technical expert. But I have never had my batteries overheat while properly connected to a charge controller. Let us know how your system works out. Thanks for your comment.

This is a good video. I believe many people wrongly claim that AGM batteries do not last. The most common reason is undercharge which leads to sulfation. I have seen AGM batteries that are over 11 years old still pulling close to full capacity, in one case I know of a gel VRLA battery lasting 17 years long.

@shoestringprep Год назад

You are correct many systems do very well with AGM batteries. Thanks for your comment.

@donowens5883 Год назад

Just make sure that if you run 12 volts on certain batteries that every battery whether you have AGM make sure they're matching AGM batteries make sure they're 12 volt 12 volt is it possible that you can get 300 Amper hours on three AGM batteries not yet 10 batteries in parallel you could get a thousand per hours depending on your power needs.

I've had differentials in AGM batteries and lead acid batteries the DieHard battery never did perform the DieHard battery by the date never performs like it did when I first got it and I had die hard gold it worked 10 years and still holding the charge but it was a friend's battery and we still started the truck with it and it's still good today after I talked it with distilled water and I did put a little bit more electrolyte in it it came up like new and we kept it the die hard back then is not the die hard now die hard now is crap so I think it's just a name they don't make batteries like they used to anymore.

I've got some small SLA that I got for a kids electric dirt bike. They have been going good for a few years. Can get them cheap at Walmart, they carry ones for electric deer feeders in the hunting department, got a bunch of 6v, 20ah/20hr for 2 bucks each. Missed out on the 12v, 7.5ah/20hr for $7 each

Just bought a kayak and looking for a sealed lightweight battery for a small trolling motor setup. Thanks for the info.

I hope it works for you. Thanks for your comment.

I pass on AGM batteries, had 4 of them die every year as soon as it gets cold in Houston Tx, changed to lead acid battery ,and it's going on 3 years strong on my 2016 Mazda 6.

@shoestringprep 8 месяцев назад

You must pick the battery type that is right for you. Thanks for your comment.

@GeoffAlbertson Год назад

What is the ideal charge and float voltage? How do you set control?

@shoestringprep Год назад

I charge my AGM batteries to 13.3. Thanks for your comment.

Hello Mr. Shoestring, I am Rob from Tampa, thank you so much for the info. I look fwd to all your videos. Can you do a video on fuses and circuit breaker on a solar setup? I have a H. F. 100 w. Solar panel, and 2 - 100 ah. Sealed Lead Acid Batteries. Looking to get a 1500 - 2000 W - P. Inverter from H. F. Waiting for coupons from same, as well as another 100 w. Solar Panel. Thanks again, Rob.

Hi Rob, I am pleased you enjoyed the videos. It sounds like you are building a nice system. I will do that video for you. Thanks for your comment.

I know this sounds weird but is it okay to use alligator clips every single day? Or is there another tactic I should think of?

@shoestringprep 7 месяцев назад

I have two systems that use alligator clips all the time. Thanks for your comment

@tanishqbhaiji103 Год назад

I believe lithium is cheap enough and is far superior in other aspects such as usable energy and charging efficiency and coloumbic efficiency to make lead acid look unattractive if you don't have a specific use for it.

@shoestringprep Год назад

Many people agree with you. Thanks for your comment.

.... My electric scooter doesn't drive very far unless I run the battery Down to at least driving 35 miles.... Then it takes a good charge And drives just fine but the internet says that they don't have memory... sla
