Default Interesting Lead Acid Battery facts

Do they last that long ? I have my doubts. In fact, I'm starting to
think that the best way to go is to just find a supplier of the
cheapest thick plate lead acid battery you can find and buy your banks
there with the intention of replacing them all after 3 or 4 years.



Of course not. With AGM batteries there's no way of measuring their
condition in the acid-soaked gauze wrapping. You can't replace lost
electrolye water from the charging so you're stuck, eventually, with
dried out gauze and no juice. The price is a pure ripoff....it's a "boat
battery", right? It's supposed to be 8 times higher. Boaters are rich,
right, and don't care what they pay for real quality in a pretty red
plastic case....right?

Tracked like a dog, every license/product/tax.
Revelation 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor,
free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their
foreheads:
17 and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the
name of the beast, or the number of his name...
