Just wanted to share pictures and random thoughts from a recent project. I really applaud all you folks on here with super neat and tidy builds! Mine is pretty sloppy by comparison, but gets the job done, haha.
Last summer I built a small 800W array and 400Ah AGM 12v battery, which was fun, and...

Sorry if this has been discussed, but I can't find anything about how tough or fragile these cells are, in terms of physical handling.
Several of my new (hopefully, ha!) 200ah cells tipped over and fell from about 5 inches, flat onto their sides, onto hard basement concrete floor. No external...

But the weirdest thing is how my trusty...
