Reserve Capacity Question (Battery)
I am trying to compare battery's and they do not make it easy. Battery states: Reserve Capacity as 125 minutes at 75A. I need to know what it is at 25A? Can anyone help? Please.

Mediocre batteries are frustrating. You do everything according to the book and they seem to sulfate a lot easier. That's not the worst of it. Getting them to revert is really the hard part. Whereas a Trojan or a Crown may require an hour and a half equalization the Yugo may take three hours or more. Only to sulfate in 30% of the activity. It irritates me like having a rig with 12 tires all slow leakers with crummy tread wear would.
I've tangled with far too many "Sad Sack" brand golf car batteries. Customers do not appreciate the amount of kWh needed to spend 15+ hours getting these substandard batteries back to normal ("But they're only two years old!") is the standard comment. Well guess what skipper, you ain't making the big puddle jump to the Marquesas with these refugees from a keel lead scrap pile. Boats are much more demanding than RVs.
NAV to steering, 3 forms ofradio communication, radar, more lights than the White House christmas, tree, multiple inverters. washer dryer, reverse osmosis seawater system, and kids in two berths playing separate video games. Refrigerator separate freezer -- well you get the idea. Many of the bigger craft are catamarans, with dual engines, twin alternators and a Chapter 7 size fuel capacity. Young adults act as if they would go stir crazy if they couldn't watch "Captain Ron" on their 75" flat screen and 300 watt Dolby surround sound. This is high velocity separating chaff from wheat time. And reading this same tune on this site is as grating as being sentenced to continuous 100 hours of trying to ignore "Neil Sedaka's Greatest Hits".
