Report back after you get 10 years. Those melted cases on those AGMs are scary. I'll stick with the Rolls. Proven to give you 9-13 years without issue as you have a modern charger.

Re: Anyone Using AGM Batteries In Their 32 Volt System?
QUESTION: This thread seems to be saying Deep Cycle AGM's in the Older 32V systems. True Deep cycles don't have any way to measure or report CCA or MCA. Are the people on this thread saying they have replaced their old Group 985 Lead acid with batteries 1/2 the physical size? Do any of you have trouble starting your engines with Deep Cycle batteries? Will a set of DC200-8 Full River batts start 12v-71s?

Look at the size of the terminals. You are hooking up 4/0 cables to them. If they are not designed for the starting amperage, you will melt them. Maybe not right away, but it will happen.
