6 volt vs 12 volt batteries for boondocking
Hi all, While waiting for our new 28' Stealth toy hauler we're trying to figure out the best batteries to get for when we're back in the hills camped off the grid. We ordered the optional 200 watt ...

Lin, provided that information which I subsequently verified by telephoning an engineer friend at a battery manufacturing plant. The Fullriver, battery is made in China.
In 2013 I tore into a junk Fullriver group 24. Stripping mats from plates was a mess. With dial calipers I measured .035 or so (memory) to .039 with about 10 measurements. Sorry to be so vague but I neglected to commit data to memory.
And no, there was not an inordinate amount of material in the mats nor in the sediment chambers. That finding is what convinced me to go to Lifeline and never look back.
You do realize "proprietary information" is the sacred cow of competitive manufacturing? If you are truly interested in getting a better handle on your question, contact Concorde battery company and ask "Do you have competitors that have plates greater than .060" thickness". They may decline to answer. In that case refer to the Lifeline PDF manual.
As far as I know, Concorde and Rolls battery are the sole two manufacturers who state plate thickness for all to see. Doesn't take much imagination to see why they do it.
Summary: Even if the Fullriver was 50% of the cost of a Concorde, I would still go with the latter. It has to do with the unavailability of a warranty or getting a replacement down here. I do not wish to save money and lose in the end.
