"EXPECTED LIFE VS. TEMPERATURE - Chemical reactions internal to the battery are driven by voltage and temperature. The higher the battery temperature, the faster chemical reactions will occur. While higher temperatures can provide improved discharge performance the increased rate of chemical reactions will result in a corresponding loss of battery life. As a rule of thumb, for every 10°C increase in temperature the reaction rate doubles. Thus, a month of operation at 35°C is equivalent in battery life to two months at 25°C. Heat is an enemy of all lead acid batteries, FLA, AGM and gel alike and even small increases in temperature will have a major influence on battery life."

Trojan Battery will be happy to discuss them with you. The quote marks were inserted for a reason.

Lighten up, Frances. I've no experience with 15" or 15.75" batteries, just trying to learn. Never measured my T-1275's, just know they feel pretty damn close in weight to a 90 or 100# sack of cement.

Not meant as a putdown Niner. I was laughing so hard when constructing a smartass answer I must have missed interpreting it as being possibly aggressive. My apologies senor. The point was intended to show mixing a tall battery takes significantly longer than for a 7" tall car jar battery. 30" batteries "could" utilize an air valve a few inches above the sediment chamber and the introduction of a tiny amount of air to mix eliminating the need for harmful useless overactivity in the electrochemical department.

Meanwhile please take my quipped answers with a couple of grains of salt. Bath salts Magnesium Sulfate. My sarcasm genes dominate but are not trying to be offensive - but rather deliver a reason to chuckle. Life is too short to take it seriously.
