I found Battleborn responsive, also, and great pre-sale and post-sale. Answered every question I had.

I also clicked a few links that are on page 1 and they take me back to this post every time. A few of them may be messed up or it’s an error on my end.

Look here:
http://www2.exide.co...cs 11_13_15.pdf
last row "Flat Plate - e.g. Exide Edge
Also here
https://www.deepcycl...ne-battery.html
"float voltage (at 25°C/80°F) is 13.5 - 13.8 V and cycling voltage (at 25°C/80°F) is 14.1 - 14.4 V."
Please be advised that a Dual Purpose battery is not the same as a Deep Cycle Battery. It is between a starting battery and a deep cycle battery.
For a house battery (or battery bank) my recommendation is an AGM true deep cycle battery and for a starting battery my recommendation is a good AGM starting battery.
LifePO4 may be an appropriate alternative if you understand the use conditions and charging needs (assuming you are willing to accept the up front costs for the battery and the charging electronics)

Craig

Summarizing question on how much current can one put into a lead acid battery during charging see the info at the "Charging Choice" link:
I found the following information which may be of use relative to battery charging
https://batteryunive...ad_acid_battery
https://www.itacanet...ery/battery.pdf
https://www.impactba...my-car-battery/
https://www.powerstream.com/SLA.htm
Relative to Lifeline Batteries I found the following:
"The charging current during bulk charging should be set as high as practical; higher current levels mean faster recharge time and less time for the plates to become sulfated. Due to the low impedance design, Lifeline batteries can tolerate an inrush current as high as 5C (500 A for a 100 Ah battery)."
I do not believe this is unique to Lifeline batteries but it may only apply to high quality batteries - I don't really know.
Ref: http://lifelinebatte...ical-Manual.pdf
Note: internal resistance in a lead acid battery changes with SOC and temperature.

I hope this information is helpful.

Craig, I’ll alert the admins. This is probably above mod permissions.

Still a problem as of 26 November. Some links work, but many others do not go to the intended pages.
