The post is for folks who do not have the height for group GC batteries or the space for a second battery. Look at the weight, then secondly at the thickness of the positive plates. I discovered via sleuthing that many "premium" GC batteries today have .105" positive plates. This battery is considerably heavier than Interstate, Sears, Deka, and Trojan group 24 batteries. Companies that are ethical advertise battery plate thickness. Revealing plate thickness is not like giving up the formula for Coca Cola, it is a legitimate construction value that should be mandated to be shown by law with other construction and performance (BCI) standards. I dare you to try and find the plate thickness of your favorite brand of battery - go ahead and try.
