I am left grumpy from a different thread........so excuse me in advance...
We used to have a federal agency that could receive requests for consumer protection. Now that agency deals only with outright fraud not mere deception.
Shady battery manufacturers and resellers like Interstate REFUSE to answer customer requests regarding positive plate thickness. They DO NOT want the customer to know. Why is it reputable OEM like Crown, Rolls, and Fullriver BRAG about positive plate thickness?
This is not a question of being forced to put plate thickness specs on the label. It is the question of the manufacturer REFUSING to respond to a demand for this specification.
I don't give a damn WHO it is - if they refuse to answer an inquiry about plate thickness THAT IS A FLAKY MANUFACTURER or RESELLER.
So - GO TO IT GENTS.
Start emailing the car jar industry and ask them....
WHAT IS THE THICKNESS OF THIS BATTERY'S positive plates? Nothing but a decimal answer will do.
"Proprietary Information" is a CON ARTIST'S answer. Trust me in this. The proof of this lays before you wide open.
