Discussing them together just confuses things further.
Well, except for the
fact that both types use the
Exact Same Chemistry, .... Ya, nothing in common...
My previous post was just a anecdotal comment as to the quality of the batteries and other products produced today, as is reflected in the warranty period. Gone are the days of prorating. Coincidence? Perhaps. Or not. Nowhere in that post was deep cycle mentioned or inferred. I was not confused in the least.
"Nothing in common" may be overstating it just a bit.
@ MtnDon,
You always provide really great technical info. I am aware of your Jemez ties, so I'm just curious if you are associated with LANL? Anyways, thanks for the link. Also, the van mentioned is a 1993 vintage, 78,000 miles. Probably not to be included in todays hotter running engines as cause for premature battery failure.
