Battery amp/hour ratings
--rant on-- My battery is getting weak and not holding a charge as long as it should so I have been doing online searches. It seems nobody wants to show amp/hour ratings online for deep cycle batteri...

A 4-D is SNOT a cyclable battery. A plates per cell count will scream FOUL!
A 4-D will have most likely an 1100-1200 CCA rating. A GC-220 Will have less than half that.
Yet the 4-D will have more ampere hours at the 20-hour rate.
Direct BCI / BCI group size comparisons are useful. The heavier the weight COUPLED WITH the fewer the ampere hours is the hallmark of separating deep cycle batteries from the pretenders.
A group 27 battery made to golf car specs by ABC Battery in L.A. had roughly 55-amp hours and was SEVEN POUNDS HEAVIER than a Sears RV battery. Acid starvation did that project in.
