The thickness of the Crown plates surprised the heck out of me. The thinness of the Trojan plates also surprised the heck out of me. Geez even the group 31 Lifeline has .105" positive plates.
With equal given quality very thick plates have lots of forgiveness via ablation. Equalize, equalize and equalize. Corrode (electrolysis) and chemical. A good AGM L-16 with .220" plates should easily last 10-15 years of continuous heavy cycling. 25-years would not be unusual. Wow!
