Actually, you're right if you're being sarcastic- I was shooting from
the hip on the weight and I was light by some 58 pounds. The actual
weight of a Rolls 8D is 208 pounds.

That's approximately 40 pounds heavier than a typical discount-store
battery of the same size (and most of the discount stores get their
batteries from the same manufacturers and simply get a private label
attached.) Your typical 8D is pretty close to the 150 I used as an off
the cuff example.

As you undoubtedly know, weight is a fairly reliable indicator of
quality and capacity in a lead-acid battery.


The Rolls (Surette in Canada) retails for aout 2 1/2 times the battery
linked above. The warranty is 10 times as long. On an amp/hour per
year of service basis, Rolls is probably the cheapest battery you can
buy- let alone the hassle of doing the swap out.
