Northstar NSB170FT good battery?

[russ]

I like them, nice find!

170 Ah 12V AGM sealed and 12+ year lifespan for $160 us? Is that with shipping?

It says "superior cyclic capability" and "high cycle capability" on the PDF so it looks like it could cycle good but I would contact them, get a spec and see how this compares to a normal lead acid battery of about the same Ah.

Because it's AGM you just increased the lifetime over a normal lead acid, and you can put them inside because they are sealed so in the winter they would stay warm and work better.

I suggest listening to Sunking - he is good on this stuff!

They are AGM batteries made for UPS systems. Which means they are made for float service and not cycled. In otherwords designed to be used once in a great while in emergencies only. If you press them into cycle service will not last long.
