Businesses that rely utterly on the cost per kWh over a period of years (for vehicles that are powered) rely on GC-220 batteries.
Gee. Mexico... Are you agreeing with me (What I said, is "Best" is subject to opinion but the Golf Car batteries give the best bang for the buck.. The best value, the lowest cost, however you wish to phrase it.
And you gave the reason rather well.. I'll give you another.
(you hinted at it) Golf courses and such buy those suckers by the pallet load.. They are, most likely, the most common 12 volt lead acid battery ever.. The lines that make them run a long long time without re-tooling. and that lowers the per unit cost.
12 volt styles.. Well you have about a hundred different "Automotive" type 12 volt batteries (more or less, I just pulled that number out of air) you may well run a line just one day before re-tooling or a different battery size.. Adds big time to the cost.
