another source for agm batteries
Hi, It's time for me to consider replacing four of my batteries that are now 8 years old. I came across this on Amazon. Any one have an opinion on this company? http://www.vmaxchargetank.com/...

I can't name names, but when I had contacts in various battery manufacturing plants, the degree of knowledge varied from mediocre to quite satisfying. Some plants operated purely by rote. Reminds me of doctors who scribble a prescription then emit a clear signal to hit the road. They do not want to talk about how and why they arrived at their conclusion and decision. Thank god doctors do not have a sales department.
Here are some key questions to ask a manufacturer. They are sensitive. A response or lack of one is telling.
Do you use virgin lead? Recovered lead? Refined recycled lead?
Do you manufacture your plate paste from scratch here on site?
What is the percentage of antimony in the positive plate?
What is your percentage rate of destructive sampling and testing?
If "the competition" wanted to know succinct precise information they would purchase a new battery then analyze what's hiding beneath the lid. There really is no valid justifiable reason for a battery manufacturer to balk at providing comprehensive answers to these questions. A trustworthy OEM would be proud of their numbers.
