Go Power! CMH-AGM-100 12V 100 Amp AGM Deep Cycle Rechargeable Replacement Battery for PV Solar and Inverters (No Maintenance)

After reading that one review from a guy who was accusing scam and false advertising for an AH rating at 1A, I was anxious to get my new battery in and test it against the specifications given. For you geeks, I used an Array 3720 DC Precision Load for my source and tested from full charge to 11.0 volt depletion ( most often, mfgs will test to 10.5 as "dead" but I like to stay a little north of that as it extends the life of the battery) using an automatic timer to end the test the moment the battery dropped to 11.0 volts. I used a constant load as this is real world rather than a variable load source that will adjust as battery voltage drops. For the sake of comparing to the baseline and other batteries, I used Peukert's Law and some other funny math to adjust my results to make comparisons. I am PLEASED to announce that this battery tests awesome, slightly better than the 105AH /20 or 110AH/100 as specified. And no this is not false advertising as many of the cheaper deep cycle batteries are giving a 100 specification without stating it, so both values could be helpful. So, for those of you would would like a simpler way to compare deep cycle batteries without needing a college degree in mathematics, here's a super easy method. Geeks will criticize me for this with a little bit of legitimacy, but if you stick to this test, you cant go wrong. Comparing 12 volt deep cycle batteries in size 24, 27, or 31......simply compare the weight. With few exceptions, the heavier batteries with have more storage capacity. Then compare $$$ per pound......and decide how much you want to spend. You'll usually end up back here. Enjoy!

Works great with 2 100 watt panels charging, running a 2000 watt inverter, off grid!!!!

I have this battery installed in my Lance truck camper along with 300 watts of solar and a 2000 watt inverter. As soon as the sun goes down it drains down to 89% with no load. By morning it is at 70%. Again, with no load. Charges right back up to 100% when the sun comes out but pretty much useless for more than just a couple led lights at night. It just started doing this within the past month so I got about 3 1/2 trouble free years out of it. I have a Renogy core mini 300ah LifePo4 on it's way to replace it.

working well and seems to be taking charges from panels , had for 1 week and all is well

Scam advertising with this battery...nobody buys a 100 Ah battery at the 100 hour rating. That is equal to 1.1 amps x 100 hours to get the 110Ah rating. Could be considered false advertising here! Using 100 hours and a 1.1 amp load makes it difficult to evaluate how well this battery will work for you.You want a 100Ah battery that is rated over 20 hours. That means a constant load of 5 amps x 20 hours to reach the endpoint voltage of 10.5 volts while under load.
