F' it. Bit the bullet and went Lifeline. Of course I paid too much, but I can't find any negative reviews and by all accounts they are the most rugged and dependable battery you can buy. I figured the worst battery would be the one I have to buy twice.

Luckily I have this forum that taught me that I will need to take good care of it.

Bit the bullet on the Bogart Trimetric and SC2030 as well. I want to put the whole electrical panel together at once and not be messing around with this and that. Solar is down the road but I'd like to have it in place and the Trimetric will be an asset anyway.

Woke up feeling aggressive. I want to build my van! Fender Flares will have to wait.

I got a Bogart SC2030 with the Trimetric monitor. Hopfully that does the trick and has completely tunable charging profiles when you have them in tandem. I think Bogart has a default profile just for the Lifeline batteries. I breezed their user manual, there's a lot you can do with them.

FYI

Ordered the Lifeline 4D blade terminal from inverters R us online in Reno. 589 no tax no shipping last Wednesday Showed up at my work today on a pallet. So 4 days with a weekend in there and it shipped from AZ. Pretty square. Local battery supply would have charged 550 for a full river or East Penn.

I love the interwebs.
