Li-Ion is nowhere near that in a $/kwh
I'm STILL looking for an affordable Lithium battery.

carbon firefly AGM ?
new tec but they only claim 1000 cycles
''Firefly claims 1000 cycles to 80% depth of discharge which is 600 more cycles than the other AGM batteries
(Odyssey claims 400 cycles to 80% DOD). The design cycle life to 50% DOD, for the Firefly, is 3600 cycles. There is
also the cost savings of not needing to use fossil fuels as much in order to get the battery bank back to 100% as often
as other technologies.
Being the only battery that actually recovered from the PSOC testing these claims may (strong emphasis on "may")
be in-line but as Darrell said, only time will tell.
