Kurt,

Look back in the archive for discussions of Hydro Caps a few months 
ago. They work exactly as specified, which is not good enough for RE 
systems with large backup chargers, or especially equalizing. Not 
enough range of acceptance for the widely varying gassing rate, 
generally speaking.

I agree therefore with William. Concorde batteries are certainly 
among the best. Be careful what you choose!
