Plus there's no way I could fit 7 batteries in the space. I do agree that there is no one right solution. hopefully we'll all see each other on the road and we can debate this at the campfire with a beer in hand.
one thought on the AGMs. at 125 lbs each that is no easy task to manhandle them into that space. I'm already in my sixties by the time i'm ready to replace them... well... I will be older LOL. AS a safety issue I am good moving 29 lb LFPs... 125 lb AGMs in awkward locations well not so much. Gonna need some strapping young guy to help. Food for thought. LOL

Over a beer... I'm in.
