Need to replace my two house batteries due to one having a bad cell. I am on the fence as to go with the T-105 or spring a little more for the T-125's. Anyone care to give their insight? I am not sure the additional cost of $22+ is worth it.We have a tendency to dry camp for 2-3 days at a time and have a generator for when we need 120 volts.

Here is the TROJAN BATTERY SPECIFICATION GUIDE.Might give you some more insight on if the additional AH's is worth the additional price...TROJAN BATTERY SPEC GUIDERoy Ken

The last time I checked specs and listings several years agoThe T-105 had a better track recordThe 105 has more bottom clearance for flakingThe 125 is the same case with more lead, and less acidBuy the T-105's

For 22 bucks get the bigger ones.

Right on info Mr. Wizard. The distributor I represented stopped buying Trojan T-125 batteries because the golf courses were complaining of premature failures. I dissected a dozen and came to the conclusion too many packed plates for acid circulation. Not starvation, but circulation. The T-105 design is hard to beat.

Thanks for the advice. While looking for information I stumbled across a website that said the T-105's had a better duty cycle than the T-125's. Thought I bookmarked it but guess I didn't. Anyway I am going with the T-105's and while I am at it changing out the WFCO converter to a Progressive Dynamics one.

Get the T105's. Like MrWiz mentioned, they have a better track record. If you need more amp hours, get something else.

In my limited experience, I believe I've experienced what MrWizard mentioned. I'm sticking with T105s from here on out.

Hi,

Were the SCS-150 wired in a balanced manner?
