Cat Fight Trojan Vs Rolls "Rrrrrrr! Pftttttt!"

No doubt about it.
When Trojan conducts a white paper test, it costs (many) tens of thousands of dollars. Rolls, is crimping their style. Me? I could care less. It's about durability meaning plate thickness and less tendency to go off spec equalization-wise.

    I wonder if the batteries were cycled before hand enough times to reach capacity. Even trojan states that their batteries don't reach stated capacity until cycled. IIRC, the number of cycles is around 50 down to 50percent SOC.
  • Very high density paste needs more break-in than the more porous stuff. My 2-volt bank gained in excess of thirty percent the first seven or eight months. Rolls apparently has crimped Trojan's style in the alternative energy market.

    Good.

    Competition breeds better stuff.

    No Zil lanes.
