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 ...

The EXACT positive plate thickness is a manufacturer specification. When I examined that battery I found clues not hard data. My 2013 finding provided compelling clues. Your bumped response above is what prompted me to pursue the data. I am loathe to present clues as being hard data.
Believe what you wish :)
You can do your own clue uncovering.
Perform a BCI recognized CCA test on the two samples. 50% of OEM rated CCA in amperes discharging for 15 seconds.
Perform an impedance test on both units.
A CCA test performed on my light 31 revealed a CCA rating of 630 amperes which was conducted at a temperature of around 65F
An inversion of an impedance test was the Lifeline battery accepts 103 amperes at 14.4 volts.

Is not the ultimate goal to have a product satisfy your own demands? If it works for you that's great. My great limitation is I cannot warranty a 30 day or 30 year battery. That heavily skews my product performance demands. From light bulbs to clothes to appliances that are not available down here, I have to stick with stuff that stays working. I wish it was otherwise.
