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? -- Stephen ------- For any proposition there is always some sufficiently narrow interpretation of its terms, such that it turns out true, and some sufficiently wide interpretation such that it turns out false...concept stretching will refute *any* statement, and will leave no true statement whatsoever. -- Imre Lakatos |

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 http://www.crownbattery.com/en/aboutus/aboutus.html Crown Battery Manufacturing Company :: About Us Good luck.

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

That said, the T-105s are basically 6 volt golf cart batteries which are readily available at Sam's Club for about $50 each. |
