With something new, best to include a link to the Mfg, as I have never heard of them

What they are is copy cats of OEM batteries, not something I would trust. For example Clark Forklifts come from the factory with GB batteries. BBI makes a copy cat version which is lower grade then the OEM GB batteries

No offense to your opinion, but I am looking for comments from actual owners of these...

BTW
Philip Morris USA uses BBI for all their lifts and stationary banks...how I came across this "new" battery...have never know PM to use "low grade" anything!

Forklift batteries, because of their "stronger grid chemistery" are a little less efficent than RE deep cycle batteries, and will consume more water.

may not be any users here, with them, sorry.

I have Battery Type: 06-SBY-85-13-1317B-from BBI Batteries

I think the company is very new to Solar for their batteries. These are sold by GB and GB makes the cases.
This is a post with 2 users of these batteries.

I am having problems with SG's not getting high enough. However the voltages and water use are all good. I would love to have someone from BBI, maybe the president, give me the charging requirements for 2-MX60's Charge Controllers and an SW5548 Xantrex Inverter.
