Thin plate, I hear you.
But I am impressed with this batteries performance and longevity an.
While never before could I charge a battery so well, never before did I get much more than 2/3 the cycles that I have gotten from this battery, but I will not make any ridiculous claims of 'still going strong' 'just fine, and 'good as new', which are so popular when one wants to pat themselves on the back for their product choice.
I can tell it has lost some grunt, but I will not be shopping for any replacement battery anytime soon. I can take 45 of its claimed 90AH capacity and voltage still rebounds well above 12.2v, at 600+ cycles and 3.5+ years of age. It still accepts 65 amps for 25 minutes when depleted 60 of its 90AH before hitting 14.7v.
Thin plate pure lead might be a marketing gimmick, but I would get another Northstar battery, and might very well do that whenever this one is compromised enough that I lose confidence in it. But that day is not here and I do not see it coming anytime soon.
But then Again the screw31 is still alive, but is mostly sittng around the pool being fed bon bons.
