-  * the ‘dweller chooses to run heavier-than-normal loads for the bank size (microwaves, electric coffeemakers, electric cooktops, etc). Note this means **the battery can be drained faster** (and bulk recharged faster), not that it provides more capacity.+  * the 'dweller is a heavy off-roader and needs the internal plate support AGM provides in violent shaking and vibration

Note this means **the battery can be drained faster**, not that it provides more capacity.  Overall charging will take [[opinion:frater_secessus:charging_faster|roughly the same amount of time]].

 +Lithium does things as well or better for lower overall cost-per-kHw, but still costs more upfront.
