   If you want to lean into all of that Will Prouse has a fairly extensive   
   library of videos on YouTube tearing into various batteries and battery   
   assembly.  I think he is more focused on home power banks and server   
   rack batteries, but there is a tremendous amount of practical knowledge   
   there.  I don't recall if Will has torn into the portable power pack   
   market to the same degree, but its worth a look see.

   Thanks. Will's reviews convinced me to buy 2 of the the LiTime Mini 12V   
   100Ah, LiFePO4s which fit in Group 24 boxes although they are slightly   
   taller than lead-acids. They are spares kept ~75% charged for typically long   
   but fairly predictable hurricane and ice storm outages, i.e. charge full,   
   then discharge by 20 to 25Ah, which is overnight on my 12VDC freezer. Charge   
   to BMS cutoff when a storm is predicted.   
      
   I use replaced-on-schedule medical AGMs for daily cycling to comply with the   
   IRS rule that batteries listed for tax credit on Form 5695 must be charged   
   purely from renewable sources, while used ones from flea markets etc aren't   
   eligible for the credit and thus can be charged with grid power in bad   
   weather like today's.
