I agree MW, Crown is a well built battery. Usually if you cannot find specific information regarding a product then the company either does not know or does not want you to know. I did find out that Interstate only had a 6mo warranty. At this point I just could not swing the Crown cost. The Trojan T105 was my next best alternative, quality and cost wise. I do try to follow the correct charging regime. So hopefully I made the right decision.
Interstate has its 6v batteries made by whomever. It used to be US Battery, with their 2200 (232AH) size most common, with also the other US Battery sizes like 208AH--
The "2300" is a US Battery term. They have their 2200 (232AH) and so on down--208AH being one.
Meanwhile, Interstate went for a while with a different Mexican supplier from about 2010 -2017, which they called their "GC2-XHD" eg, that also had 232AH.
Then last year or so, they came out with a new 6v (two sizes) that are 225AH for the bigger one, same as a T-105.
On checking with the local Interstate wholesale guy and from info in the Interstate website's links where they show Trojan documents, it turns out that the new Interstate 6s are supplied by Trojan. Same -same.
