Perhaps James @ Surrette can chime in about the cost difference. I do not think flooded lead calciums are much more expensive then flooded lead antimony batteries.

In regard to the calciums, what is the added cost per life. ie if they cost 3x as much and last 4 x as long when you calc in MX, venting etc, costs might be pretty close? thanks, jay peltz power On Oct 4, 2010, at 12:22 AM, [mailto:[email protected]] [email protected] wrote:I know many on this list disagree, but this sounds SO typical for sealed batteries. It is why I never use em... never! If they are 5 years old, you are probably at the limit of their life. Replace em with flooded lead calciums and your customers (and you) will be happy for 20+ years. my .o2 Todd Sent from Finest Planet WebMail.
