Headed over to their website right now to have a look!

Definitely Trev, 70% effective usage, against 50% with lead acid, and more cycles.
Next time round they will be my buy.
Lithium it’s reckoned will half in price next 3 years Trev.

Thanks for the link. I’m heading off to see if my charger actually can deliver the required amount that AGM need. There’s a setting for it but as your article points out , this doesn’t necessarily mean it delivers it !AGM need to be charged properly if they are going to last. They are not always a drop in replacement for wet lead acid batteries, though some sellers might like you to think they are. Alpha Batteries have detailed guidance here.

Now superseded with salt silicon but still only working on small devices as yet, in a few years it will hit the car market, 600 mile range and 5 min charge times are bandied about.Slightly off-topic, but closely related. This article was from back in 2014.
(No doubt some of the cleverer techie bods in here have already discussed this elsewhere...?)
Wonder what happened to this idea?
