One good measure of quality is weight. The heavier the better.

Are the weights of batteries normally included in the specs?

I don't know. You could pick up a few. The weight differences are really
noticible.


I don't plan on carrying a scale with me when I look for batteries. ;-)

I am sure there have to be some significant specs I can compare such as
cranking amps and ................

Does anyone else out there know?

Yes - you can find out the weight of the battery on the manufacture's
web site or the distributors web site.


Ok. So how exactly does weight equate to quality? The thicker the
plates......the better the better the (deep cycle) battery?
