T105 vs. T105RE

[Ripit]

I see Trojan has two different T105s. A 105 and a 105 RE. Is there any difference between these two Batteries. I spoke with a salesman a Continental Battery and he said there's not much but they have to special order the 105 RE , 4-6 week delivery. Tell me what you know. Thanks.

With 2 of them the extra 30ah would be nice to have.

It's 15A/h more... but yes, definitely nice to have.

If you're looking for a Trojan 6V GC2 battery, have you considered the T-125 which the same size but has a capacity of 240A/h (@20Hr rate) instead of 225 ???

No, I had not noticed the T125s. With 2 of them the extra 30ah would be nice to have. I'll check into them. Thanks

I would just get the regular version.

I think you are correct. Plus I don't want to wait 4-6 weeks.
