True value is only established when you divide the number of kWh conducted into the retail price at time of battery failure. In effect "who declares length and number of vacations and full 50% DOD discharges?" And yet there is a further part. The CEF. Charge efficiency factor. The amount of energy (gasoline) needed to recharge a depleted battery.
Many people have a distorted sense of economy -- like driving all the way across town to save ten cents per gallon of gasoline.
Money is money and auditing the true value of a battery purchase is fraught with peril if only one of the components is shown (distortion).
Again I will state this: WHY OH WHY DO MOST GOLF COURSES INSIST ON TROJAN BATTERIES?
Are they spendthrift? Are they stupid? Do they get a fantastic discount that makes their T105 purchases cheaper than running down to a club warehouse? Does Trojan bribe them with free batteries for their personal cars?
May I suggest a reality check and a harder search than just calling one vendor?
