Excellent batteries

We purchased 6 of these batteries to repower our electric cart 15 months ago. While driving our cart around our neighborhood two evenings ago I smelled something electrical burning. Then the cart lost power. I pulled to the side of the road and we lifted the seat to check the batteries. There was a small fire on top of a battery where the terminal was supposed to attach. The case burned through, from the inside, probably due to a faulty internal connection. The cable and connecting hardware are still intact, but the battery, just out of warranty period, is destroyed. We thank God that this didn't happen inside our home while the batteries were being charged! Pictures available on request.

Perfect for Club Car

I have used a set of these batteries for 5 or 6 years in a golf cart that I use for towing aircraft and driving around an airport. Total use time is typically less than 30 minutes a day. I only charge the batteries when the cart slows down significantly (when battery voltage under load is around 5.6 volts). Fully charged batteries are 6.3 volts. I am very happy with these batteries. They have outperformed other brands I have tried. They don't consume nearly as much water as other brands either. I seldom have to add water. I just bought another set for the second cart.

Always, always, always check the battery acid level just after you buy ANY battery. None of the eight batteries that I have bought are up to the proper level. AND, with a new battery---put in real battery acid to give it the best start in life for the longest service life. After it starts with all it was intended for, then you can top off with distilled water the rest of the time. Water vapor is what escapes and needs to be replenished as it is used. Having the right amount of sulfuric acid to start (from the battery acid (available at any auto parts store) will reduce the failures that so many report. Consider a de-sulfinator device to keep it running longer---it is worth the investment and can make a battery last twice as long.

Bought 8 of these Batterys 8 years ago. Darn it they are now failing. Actually I do have to keep an eye on them in the summer. As for bang for the buck these are my goto for Off the Grid. I will be replacing my 8 failing batteries with these. The Life span was way better than expected

Very Impressed With these batteries, I purchased quite a few for a solar project. When I got them home I checked the fluid as I've seen where some say the fluid level has been known to be low when new.. That wasn't the case for me, The fluid level was at the level it should be. I've also heard that they are extremely low on voltage when people purchase them,Once again that wasn't the case here, I checked all the ones after getting them home and they were all at full charge. I hooked them up to our solar equipment, they power our fridge, freezer, tv, computers every night and an 8,000 btu air conditioner a few hours on certain nights.. We are totally off-grid here.. Completely solar powered with these batteries as backup at night.. We've had them for over a year now and am pleased to say that these batteries are still working as good today as they were the day that we received them. We are highly impressed with our purchase and plan to purchase more in the near future for more projects.

Going on three years,these things are still performing. They run my off grid 30 foot yurt. We have had an apartment sized fridge powered since the day the batteries were connected. Our solar keeps them topped off and healthy. Don’t forget about watering these things and never discharge below 50% capacity. I think I’ll get another 2-3 years of service.

I bought 2 of these in 2009 for the house batteries in our motorhome. I just replace them (10/5/2017) with 2 new ones due to becoming weak. And we are full timers in our coach. They lasted 8 1/2 years! You can't expect better than that for this price. I have recommended these to many friends and never had anyone disappointed with them.
