Sam's Club 6 volt batteries - good or bad?

I have also decided that premium batteries (Rolls, et al) are just not worth the money. Mine (a pair of 4Ds and a Group 30) lasted exactly four years -- the warranty period. Considering their cost compared to, say, Exides of the same size but one third or less the price, I can afford to run the commercial units and replace them after four years. Having gotten 5 years from the cheapies, I suggest you might review your battery regimen. I have yet to destroy a battery in =4 years. Am currently figuring out how long a better (not premium) battery will last. At 3 years, it's going real strong, but I also added solar a bit earlier so will have to compare it to the Walmart cheapie it's along-side of. -- Jere Lull Xan-à-Deux -- Tanzer 28 #4 out of Tolchester, MD Xan's pages: http://web.mac.com/jerelull/iWeb/Xan/ Our BVI trips & tips: http://homepage.mac.com/jerelull/BVI/ |
