Calcium/calcium is soooo tempting for many battery manufacturers. The construction inherently carries a higher level of voltage - at rest. Good CCA. Minimum water loss, minimum corrosion. Minimum self-discharge. Extremely low level of fumes.
Catastrophically poor cyclability. Nightmare incorporated to equalize. A single 100% depth of discharge and it's boot hill. Feeding a cal/cal battery in conjunction with a high antimony battery is like trying to feed a dining table consisting of Mexicans and Englishmen with a single course. The calcium battery demands bulk and float voltages that will fricassee a flooded antimony battery.
Mex, is this what you recommend? Thanks,
