You are dead on with this Mike. So I suppose the lesson learned (and
hopefully passed on to future researchers), is this:
Northstar's red series is a no go for Electric propulsion battery banks.
Northstar's Blues are- Northstar confirmed the 210 FT is the same as the
SMS AGM 480 (Note: 480 is part of model name, and this time NOT amp hours)

> The red batteries are designed internally with a different cell grid than the traditional blue batteries. Both are TPPL. The Red are designed for support telecom industry and sit for extended periods of time with a float charge in which they are called upon very rarely to support remote communications and backup. The Blue are designed to be discharged on a regular basis with extended cycling capability.
> The batteries do have carbon technology to support the batteries ability to stay in a partial state of charge and not be damaged. The plates are TPPL without Calcium that also support the issues of reduced sulfation.
