PD9245 and Lifeline GPL-31XT testing
I just acquired a Progressive Dynamics PD9245 converter to specifically charge a New Lifeline AGM GPL-31Xt at 125AH capacity. I tested the converter tonight on a different battery, and saw Voltages...

With your aptitude fitting a 40-amp Schottky rectifier as a voltage drop device should not be that big a deal. Wire it through a lever type battery cutout switch. When the switch is OFF the charger is routed through the rectifier. Flip it on and the schottky is bypassed. More N 1-way to remove a cat from it's covering. Beats buying chargers or settling for a lesser battery.
Anyone ever find out the plate thickness on a Fullriver 31?
That tall 31 is BCI sized just that - a group 31, but 11" in height. It has it's unique properties. Six cells, L-16 plates, and a manageable (by someone else) weight. A monster with only 700 CCA.
You folks probably weren't around to see the tar top 2-story 8-D batteries. Also 11" in height. In excess of 200 lbs each.
Concorde spent a fortune on their hyper-modern machinery and inspection devices. They could afford to do it with exclusive contracts for the B2, B1, F22, F18 Super Hornet and even the Space shuttle program. They charge the military through the snot box for military batteries.
Rolls makes the best NON SUBMARINE batteries in the world IMHO. But submarine batteries are in a class by themselves. With a price tag to match. Rolls has their work cut out for them just trying to match the Concorde battery. Sort of like finding a competitor for a MacIntosh tube-type audio system. When you hot you hot.
