2 66 lb batteries

[AStinker-]

Listed below are 2 batteries that are the same weight but each has a different Ahr rating. The Ahr and weight came from spec sheets.

235 Ahr / 66.0 lb = 3.56 Ahr / lb
240 Ahr / 66.0 lb = 3.64 Ahr / lb

Hypothetical question:

If you had to buy batteries based on this single fact which is the better buy?

Heavier plates in general last longer than waffle plates. I'd go with the weights of that were the only concern. May mean little or no difference in USE but can mean you'll be using them longer.

Hi,

Since I prefer 12 volt jars, I would buy neither of those.

There has to be more involved in the decision between two batteries than that.

I myself have never carried about the weight of a battery. I want the max AHR for the given size of my battery box/tray. both being equal I would go for the most AHR

Did you put the 66.0 there or is the spec 66? If 66, then rounding off could make them the same weight.
