Crown Batteries?
 
Salesman faxed me a test showing comparable Crown batteries
outperforming Trojan T105s. Anyone have any experience with Crown
batteries or know much about them?

Crown Batteries?
 
Never heard of them, Stephen, but I see they've been around since 1926,
which more than I can claim for myself.

Interesting company background he

Ahh...more Marketing Magic!

How long will a 300AH lead acid battery pull a 20A load?

Hmm....300 divided by 20 equals....hmm....carry the 6...add the 2...er,
ah....15 hours.

Now, how long will a 300AH CROWN lead acid battery pull a 20A load?

Hmm.....300 divided by 20 equals...hmm...carry the 6...add the 2...er,
ah....15 hours?

Trojan T-105
30 mo./
3 mo. free replacement/
27 mo. prorated 500 3-5 yrs. life
http://www.affordable-solar.com/379.html - $89

Crown CR-225
????????? What the hell? No prices??
I cruised all over on Google looking for a price on these Market Magic
batteries. Try it for yourselves! THERE AREN'T ANY! What are they
hiding? Why is not a SINGLE dealer, the few that there are, not quoting
me a price on a simple battery on the internet?
One guy in a forum said he found re-labeled Crown CR-225s for $62, which
I find dubious to say the least.

Please post any dealer website that quotes us a price on these wonderous
items. I'm stumped if I can find one.

Looks like a price-controlled product....like printer ink carts. You
sell it for what we want, or else we'll cut you off. Territorial markets
to boost prices?

Not on my watch.....

Reminds me of Amsoil........does it you?

Trojan batteries have an excellent reputation and the company has been
in business a long time. That said, the T-105s are basically 6 volt
golf cart batteries which are readily available at Sam's Club for
about $50 each.
