Whats w/ Interstate No Prorate ?
Another 18 days off grid, time for dump again. Tried to fire the V-10, nothing, hardly a click. Finally got it fired, run for 20 minutes, but noticed the 0-150 ammeter setting on about 20, just like...

PURE LEAD. There are various grades of Pb., the highest being VIRGIN Pb. Pure lead is allowed to contain "X" amount of impurities, anything as long as it isn't radioactive.
Interstate is a RESELLER the only thing they manufacture is HYPERBOLE.
That being said, if a customer is satisfied with a product, that's all that need be said.
WITH REGARD to the quip, "They'll manufacture a battery to the specifications of a vendor". That should read "To the specification of the vendor WITHIN THE MANUFACTURING CAPABILITIES of the manufacturer. Johnson Controls or Oxide is not going to run around looking for Virgin Pb because a vendor demands it. It is going to cost the vendor A FORTUNE to custom craft a battery with non warehoused raw materials or sub assemblies like jars, and hardware. Interstate does not have that punch. No vendor does. When RAMCAR decided to consider using envelope separators to inhibit plate mossing shorts, it took a corporate act of God to accomplish and they ARE manufacturers.
A vendor can specify the plate thickness and count, the quality (expense) of separators, the electrolyte density, and then fine points. When Pb is PURCHASED from the marketplace the ONLY WAY to get it at a reasonable coat is to purchase twenty tons at a time. A hundred or even a thousand tons is better. Most of the Pb market now consists of RECYCLED Pb. Quirks like STRONTIUM additives can be MOSTLY removed by refining, but some battery Pb alloys are damned difficult to remove. The lead must be FURTHER processed and that is expensive, step-by-step. Lead refineries are EXPENSIVE to operate because of EPA rules.
I hope this helps
