Myself, I relied on the pallets of batteries that we junked - usually 12 to 20 per month. Businesses that rely utterly on the cost per kWh over a period of years (for vehicles that are powered) rely on GC-220 batteries. They decide this on a hard core dollars and cents basis. If they could find batteries that last three times as long at twice the price they would buy them. Unless of course you figure an RV owner knows more about batteries than a business owner who may purchase two to three hundred batteries a year, does the cost analysis on a computer (including maintenance and electrical recharge costs), and has a penny-pinching comptroller looking over his shoulder.
If you want to argue this point, go to any large golf course, and argue with the Golf Pro and the accountant. When they're done with you, the owner will take over and I guarantee you'll crawl out of there little more than raw hamburger.
Various battery designs have pluses and minuses. It's up to the user and no one else on earth to be interested enough to find out which suits his purposes best. Joe McGee down the street may have an RV with a totally different lifestyle than yours. A different rig, a different world. If you let him twist your arm and buy what he suggests, chances are, you will end up on the short end of the stick.
Golf car batteries face an insanely fierce and competitive market. This is because of computer monitoring and analysis right down to the very last shiny copper plated zinc penny. People who lay out tens of thousands of dollars a year on batteries tend to be ruthless how they save money. They cannot cheat. They do not base their decisions on opinions - merely cold hard facts in the form of numbers. Numbers with dead presidents on the face.
